Women started 1,821 new businesses every day last year. Fun fact: 64% of those were started by women of color. Another fun fact, those 12.3 million women-owned businesses generate $1.8 trillion a year. 

It’s safe to say that women in business are the driving force in our nation’s flourishing economy. And that number is only expected to grow. 

Today, we have seven women who are doing just that—they’re shattering the glass ceiling, owning the c-suite, and paving the way for generations to come.
