“Unapologetic” Black Women Founders on Wall Street

Black Women Leaders on Wall Street are taking control and continuing their current initiative.

I confer with the founding father of Black Women’s Wall Street, JaCoi Pugh speak about the vision she had for organization, ranging from the kitchen table. Together along with her business partner, LaToya Gooden, she influences and uplifts the lives of Black women entrepreneurs in North Texas.

“Black Women’s Wall Street is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. She began working at my kitchen table, along with me and Latoya,” explained the president and founder.

Gooden added to her story: “We sat there, going back and forth. We are business owners. What on earth could happen? Is there any organization in the world that would help people like us?”

Pugh and Gooden, who serves as vp, founded the nonprofit in 2018 to attach and encourage Black women in entrepreneurship. Moreover, their vision is at the identical essence as the unique Black Wall Street. Situated within the Greenwood district of Tusla, it became a middle where black businesses flourished within the early twentieth century. However, racial hatred led to the destruction of many successful Black-owned businesses.

Inspired by the plight of those entrepreneurs, Black Women’s Wall Street is working to rebuild the community that exists in Tusla. Their mission is to empower and train Black women to create sustainable and thriving businesses. For Pugh and Gooden, the goal demographic is black women from all walks of life who wish to be a CEO. Whether someone is a single mother or simply starting out, this community is devoted to promoting the profession ambitions of its members.

“We make no apologies to the target audience we serve,” Pugh said.

Moreover, Black Women’s Wall Street helps women from idea to creation by providing consultations and networking events to offer all members of the community with the tools to start out their very own business.
