Women are redefining the business landscape, and taking names while doing it. But the road to being a female CEO, especially for women of color, still isn't a paved one. In the last 20 years, Black women have become the fastest-growing demographic of entrepreneurs, owning nearly 60 percent of all Black businesses. But women entrepreneurs as a whole receive only four percent of venture capital funding, and women of color broadly 30 percent less than their white counterparts. Hear from extraordinary women executives their experience of navigating this rocky terrain and how we can make this road easier for others to walk.
