Women's History Month and Birth Justice
For Women’s History Month, KC Black Owned is highlighting women business owners and celebrating their strength, tenacity, and their persistence.
Today is the last day of Women's History Month so it is only fitting that we highlight a woman whose business is built on the desire to empower other women in a field where there is little research, very high stakes, and a disappointing amount of misinformation: birth.
Placing Values Front and Center
Alana Henry, owner and editor in chief for The Writique, a resume service, is especially inspirational. We admire her mission-focused work and her advocacy and are truly proud to call her a member of KC Black Owned.
Celebrating Women's History Month with Elevated Style
Women small business owners have come a long way in the past few decades. Despite barriers women face, like access to capital, family care, and inequitable tax codes, women entrepreneurs continue to persist. Through creative and innovative ways, women like Tamara MCConnell, mixologist and owner of Breathe Beverages, break down barriers to success and take on entrepreneurship with elevated style.

There is so much on the other side of fear.”
