When a Black woman founder's preorder sale blew up beyond what her team could handle, customers didn't just complain. They piled on. For months. And now she's pausing operations entirely. I'm not here to debate whether the frustration was valid. I'm here to talk about what that pile-on actually costs. Not just her, but all of us. In this video I'm breaking down the real structural forces working against women entrepreneurs every day: the capital gap, the gender punishment gap, the Amazonification of customer expectations, and a form of coordinated online harm called economic vandalism that researchers say is almost exclusively aimed at women-owned businesses. When we publicly drag small businesses owned by Black women, we are directly making the gender and wealth gaps larger. Watch to the end because I'm laying out exactly what we can do differently and what it actually looks like to support the women building the world we say we want. I'm hosting Future Proof, a one-day virtual workshop where you will rebuild your offer, your marketing, and walk away with a complete 90-day plan built for this economy. To be part of it, apply now.
