Black women are defining success for themselves...
The Forgotten Group
Black women are the primary focus of The Careerist Project. The career and personal development of young black women has been forgotten. And, the influence of racism and sexism in the career and personal development of Black American women is a topic that is often not spoken on. Black women are defining success for themselves, highly educated, but still unsure of how to navigate systems along their paths. Success comes at a high price for the Black community, especially for Black women.
The Careerist Project goal is to help each woman truly define what success looks like to her and ensure that her mental, emotional, and physical health are taken care of while she overcome career and life goals and challenges.
Did you know?
- About 80% of the people living in poverty are women and children, and Black American women are over represented in those numbers.
- Black women are 51.1% breadwinners of their families while occupying low-wage jobs despite education achievement.
- 2.6 million Black women have a 4-year college degree but tend to be overrepresented in low-pay/low-skill jobs and underrepresented in high-skill and professional jobs compared to their White counterparts.
