Black Women Founders: Building Bold Brands

Black Women Founders: Building Bold Brands

This one is for the builders—the women who turn ideas into livelihoods and care into companies. Across the country, Black women are launching products, creating jobs, and bringing joy to everyday life. The path isn’t easy, but it’s powerful: learn fast, stay consistent, keep going.

What fuels the journey

• Problem → product. Many founders start to solve a real need—better ingredients, inclusive options, flexible work—and the solution grows.
• Learning in public. From finance to fulfillment, we wear all the hats. Mentors, courses, late nights—whatever it takes to serve customers better.
• Consistency over hype. Show up, ship the orders, improve the experience. That’s how brands are built.

Our story (real and simple)

Cara has always been a baker. When Marcus chose a plant-based lifestyle, she began veganizing her own recipes so dessert could be something everyone enjoys together. That’s the heart of Southern Roots Vegan Bakery: no-disclaimer desserts that taste like home and include more people at the table.

How your support moves the needle

We added Support Our Small Business for customers who ask, “How can I help beyond a purchase?” Think of it like leaving a tip that fuels the mission. Your contribution helps us:
