“When met with hardship, the human psyche responds by reacting, adapting, and recovering. This is especially true for Black and Latinx women entrepreneurs and small-business owners, who are no strangers to experiencing surprises, change, and hard times. Once faced with the global Covid-19 pandemic, we saw these businesses tested, and they adapted and pivoted to survive. Our businesses are continuously tested, and that’s what makes us resilient leaders — skilled at being resourceful, versatile, and creative to the core. It’s this ability to be resourceful even in a crisis that defines our resilience, but that resilient spirit often makes business leaders feel that they have to find a way on their own. No business grows in isolation.”
