Thriving Through the Challenges Like many small businesses, we’ve faced our share of challenges. But being a Black woman business owner brings a unique and complex set of hurdles. • Access to capital remains one of the biggest barriers. Funding doesn’t flow as freely to women and minority-owned businesses. • Equal respect as a CEO is still a fight. Despite being competent, visionary, and capable, I’ve often had to prove myself in rooms where I didn’t automatically “belong.” • Self-doubt and imposter syndrome can be persistent. Early on, I often asked myself: Can I really make it as a business owner? But I kept going. I pushed through. I found my niche.
I’ve built a business that not only sustains me and my family but creates career paths for others—especially brilliant people who have been overlooked, underestimated, or left behind.
Why Diversity Matters in Hiring
Let’s be clear: Diversity is not a compromise. It’s a competitive advantage. At Prescott Solutions, we don’t just talk about equity—we embody it. We hire qualified, diverse talent because we know excellence comes in every color, gender, and background. It’s ludicrous to think that a “diversity hire” means a candidate is underqualified. We are proud to say that we’ve placed candidates from entry-level to VP roles across industries, cities, and countries. We don’t just fill seats. We match people with purpose. That’s our superpower.
Now, I don’t just survive—I thrive.
