Black Women Are A Good Investment Inside Goldman Sachs Investment Plan The Wall Street giant says it sprinkled nearly $3 billion in capital to expand the #Blackbusiness community. Your network determines your #networth.” The opening words inspired the 300-plus people at Goldman Sachs #headquarters in New York on June 18. It was a part of the video shown to the investment bank’s fifth graduation class of the #BlackinBusiness which is apart of the #OneMillionBlackWomen initiative, a $10 billion #investment Goldman Sachs says is aimed at driving #economicopportunity for one million individuals by 2030. In the crowd were lawyers, accountants and even a NASA statistician—all future entrepreneurs ready to receive their stamp of approval from the financial titan. “Our thesis is that Black women are a good investment,” Asahi Pompey, president of the Goldman Sachs Foundation, tells Forbes. Pompey discussed Goldman Sachs’ One Million Black Woman initiative as part of “Journey to ForbesBLK Summit,” an editorial series leading up to the second annual ForbesBLK business conference in Atlanta on June 23-25. There, #ForbesBLK plans to amplify #entrepreneurs and organizations who take distinctive approaches to #leadership, #business and economic #problemsolving. Goldman Sachs says it has deployed nearly $3 billion in capital for One Million Black Women since its 2021 launch. Its “Black in Business” education course, designed to help sole proprietors scale into employers, has credentialed 750 #Blackwomen, including the 146 individuals in its fifth cohort on June 18. Black in Business is a free program and serves as the foundation of One Million Black Women because it may help close the #wealthgap and grow the #USeconomy by adding #jobs in the #Blackcommunity. Goldman Sachs works with New York University’s NYU Stern School of Business to curate a 10-week virtual #businesscourse covering topics including #consumeracquisition costs, #marketingstrategies and #staffing. “Our big task is to move #solopreneurs to bonafide #entrepreneurs who have employees and others who are helping to achieve their business goals,” Pompey says. The investment bank says businesses have made $22.4 million in revenue since it created Black in Business. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon told attendees that 65% of graduates reported an increase in revenue after six months, and 50% added employees. ‘It’s A Proven Model’ Goldman Sachs created One Million Black Women after its March 2021 report, #BlackWomenomics. It found that the wealth of a median single Black woman was 92% less than that of a single White man. Pompey says the initiatives serve as a #onetwopunch to combat the #opportunitygap. #profitability #risk #governance #compliance #leaders #investin #investment #Esgfunds #JEDI #esgs #esginvesting #esgrisk #ceos #boards #boardofdirectors #styrelser #styrelseledamöter #ordförande #chairman #finance #deistrategy #deiba #technews

Juneteenth is new to me. Relatively. You see, my family is originally from Jamaica. My parents also didn't know about Juneteenth, the same way they didn't know about Black Solidarity Day. (I was always one of - at the most - 5 kids in class on that day every year because my parents NEVER allowed me to stay home. Am I dating myself?) The truth is that I didn't learn about Juneteenth really until about 2017. And once I did, I embraced it wholeheartedly. As a physician, I fully understand the stressors medical professionals face. As a Black woman physician, add the stereotypes thrown our way, the microagressions, the need to prove to others that we are worthy of a promotion and/or raise, the macroagressions, and the expectation we can carry it all on our shoulders. Burdened. While my ancestors didn't have the direct experience of America around the era of June 19, 1865, our cumulative experiences are unique in a way that we all of the African Diaspora can take pride in this day - and learn from it. Here are three invaluable lessons from Juneteenth that we can carry forward with appreciation: 🌟 Resilience: Our history is a testament to overcoming hardships. We draw strength from our past to face today's challenges. It is how we move forward, or in fact rebuild, coming back stronger each time. 🌟 Community: Just as our ancestors stood together, supporting each other is crucial for our well-being. 🌟 Hope: Every step forward is driven by hope for a better future. Here, mindset is so important. This hope fuels our actions and keeps us striving. Let's honor Juneteenth by recognizing our progress and committing to continue the journey. How will you apply these lessons in your own life? Comment below. #Juneteenth #Black #AfricanAmerican #BlackWomenInMedicine #Resilience #Community #Hope

"Black women earn 63 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men." We have always worked twice as hard as men, only to earn less. And not just less money. Less respect. Less career advancement. Over time, this can negatively impact our self-confidence, which can, in turn, negatively affect relationships with our peers and how we show up in the workplace. This #WomensHistoryMonth, let's stand up and say NO MORE. It's time to do what we can to bring our professional A-game and finally get the equity we deserve. It's time to get more. Come to The Being Conference to flip those stats and get you on the road to your goals. ##LeadershipMindset #CareerGoals #CareerAdvice #CareerChange #CareerSuccess #Career #CareerDevelopment #CareerCoaching #CareerPlanning #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalWomen

HONORARY DISTINCTIONS In my humble opinion, honorary doctorates should be referred to as honorary distinctions! If you have received an honorary doctorate, it means that your professional title is NOT Dr. This means that society should not address you as Dr. Dr does not go on your resume nor does it hold any weight in academic circles or professional work environments; meaning that it does not increase your salary range or ascent in the workforce hierarchy. Honorary doctorates do not have their work published nor can you find any profiles in any exclusive, invite-only database(s) with their critically-acclaimed merits. Real doctorates are invited to global events, are invited to give keynote addresses, and online lectures to students. Real doctorates are invited to submit new papers, journals, and books. Real academic doctorate degrees cannot be taken from you, as seen below... Can we please put some respect on those who have been accepted into and who have successfully defended their dissertation, earning the rightful letters after their names and properly addressed with their rightful title as Dr... If honorary doctorates continue to refer to themselves as doctor [especially celebrities without any academic degree(s)], then I will continue to overemphasize calling real doctorate recipients "doctor" and absolutely no one else!

I and nearly 150 women officially graduated from Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business program!!!!! What a journey! Day 2 was the official graduation ceremony and I give major kudos to the Goldman team for making the day very special for us. We learned from Mori Taheripour and Dolly Chugh, and heard beautiful words of wisdom from David Solomon, Melanie Campbell, Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice, Dr. Ruth Simmons, and many more. My biggest takeaways: 💡 When negotiating, spend most of your time in the information exchange phase. It makes the bargaining part much easier. 💡 Listen to understand the end goal. The way you get there might not be what you originally planned, but you'll get there. 💡 Don't ask someone to do what you're unwilling to do. 💡 Take every opportunity to show up. Graduation was the celebration of the program ending, but it's only the beginning for each of us. We're ready to scale our businesses, increase revenue, hire people who look like us, and invest back into our communities. In the words of Hyacinth Tucker, MBA, "Watch out Wall Street, we're coming for you!!” #blackinbusiness #womeninbusiness #entrepreneurship #ombw #womenownedbusiness

👁️👃🏾👁️Nah fr, where are the black jobs? I’m talking about the real opportunities where we’re valued and respected, not just the stereotypical roles. We deserve to see more representation in tech, management, and leadership positions. Let’s keep pushing for diversity in all industries and ensure Black professionals are getting the recognition and opportunities they deserve. And let’s keep the fun going by adding a few more Black job titles to the list: 🤓General: 🧀Head of the ‘Who made the mac and cheese?’ committee 🍖Grill master general at family reunions 📖Chief storyteller of family history 🏢Corporate: ✌🏾Chief Vibes Officer 🔮Culture Curator 🤑Equity Evangelist 🤣Seriously thou, let’s connect, share, and support each other in finding those roles that truly value our talents and contributions. #BlackExcellence #DiversityAndInclusion #JobSearch #RepresentationMatters #BlackJobsMatter #WhatIsABlackJob #Blackjobs #WhereTheBlackJobs

In the heart of Atlanta, amidst the bustling tech scene, there exists a gathering unlike any other. Render ATL isn’t just another tech conference; it’s a beacon of empowerment, a safe haven for Black men and women in the tech industry. More than just a meeting of minds, it’s a celebration of culture, community, and innovation. At its core, Render ATL serves as a platform for empowerment. In an industry often plagued by lack of diversity and inclusion, this conference stands tall, providing a space where Black voices are not only heard but celebrated. It’s a reminder that diversity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a strength, driving innovation and creativity in ways that homogeneous spaces simply cannot match. But Render ATL goes beyond the confines of traditional conferences. It’s a vibrant tapestry of networking, music, and culture. Here, attendees don’t just exchange business cards; they forge meaningful connections, building a network that extends far beyond the conference walls. The music pulsating through the venue isn’t just background noise; it’s a celebration of Black excellence, a soundtrack to the revolution happening within the industry. Moreover, Render ATL serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for future generations. By showcasing the achievements of Black men and women in tech, it sends a powerful message: you belong here, and your voice matters. It’s a catalyst for change, sparking conversations and initiatives aimed at creating a more inclusive tech ecosystem. But perhaps most importantly, Render ATL is a testament to the power of community. In a world often marked by division and discord, it brings people together, bridging gaps and fostering understanding. Here, attendees find not only camaraderie but also mentorship and support, as veterans of the industry lend a helping hand to the next generation of innovators. In the end, Render ATL is more than just a tech conference; it’s a movement. It’s a rallying cry for change, a celebration of diversity, and a testament to the power of community. As the conference continues to grow and evolve, it serves as a shining example of what happens when we come together to uplift and empower one another. And in a world that often feels divided, that’s a message worth celebrating. #RenderAmbassador RenderATL (Render Atlanta) #ATLTechWeek
