Cognitive psychologist Dr. Jamie Bracey, director of the new Center for Inclusive Competitiveness at Temple University’s College of Engineering, believes there is a key sector from which black women are largely absent: the business of maintaining the Earth.

Bracey spoke May 2 at “Sisters in the Struggle: The Marginalized Power of Black Women Tech Founders” panel, hosted by Mogulette founder Brigitte Daniel at the Free Library of Philadelphia, writes Ebonee Johnson at generocity.org.

“The world I’m in, the number one issue is global climate change,” Bracey said. “‘Can you provide food, energy, water’ — [but] white boys are taking this.”

According to Bracey, although black women are “the most hustling people on the planet,” she believes “we haven’t been competitive socially, we have not been competitive professionally, we haven’t been competitive economically.”

Despite the fact that black women owned a majority of all minority-women-owned business in 2017, they are consistently bringing in the least amount of relative revenue ($56 billion, compared to Latinas at $103 billion and Asian Americans at $188 billion).
