The world seems to be on fire right now, but black women entrepreneurs are killing the game right now. 

From having million-dollar-months, to creating anti-racist movements, to landing huge brand deals, the wins just keep coming and I love to see it.

Black women like Tabitha Brown, Rachel Rodgers, Danielle Leslie, Dawn Dickson, Teri Ijeoma, and King Ashley Ann Jones are serving up the motivation that entrepreneurs and creators NEED. TO. SEE. RIGHT. NOW. 

I’ve been applauding all of this #blackexcellence and am incredibly motivated by the success of these black women entrepreneurs and creators.

I’ve also been looking for the lessons I can learn from all of their success.

In this episode of the Shontavia Show,  I outline 6 of the lessons I’ve learned from these women and their journeys.  

Here’s a summary of these lessons:

• Lesson #1 from Tabitha Brown: Continue to make your content (02:19)
• Lesson #2 from Rachel Rodgers: Speak your truth (06:36)
• Lesson #3 from Danielle Leslie: “I dream it. I work hard. I grind, I own it.” (13:02)
• Lesson #4 from Dawn Dickson: Invest in yourself and your education (16:12)
• Lesson #5 from Teri Ijeoma: You can talk about God AND business IN your business (23:26)
• Lesson #6 from King Ashley Ann: Authenticity is your superpower (26:18)
