I did the math so you didn’t have to.
$3.76 million in revenue → hundreds of views.
40 pounds lost without medication → thousands of views.
Here’s what this showed me…👇🏽👇🏽
The internet values Black women’s bodies more than our businesses.
The algorithm told on itself. And I’m done pretending that’s okay.

This photo is me and Serena Williams.
Two Black women.
Both built something.
Both changed our bodies.
Guess which one the internet cares about.
Serena told us she used a GLP-1 and lost 31 pounds after “doing everything right” and still feeling stuck.
The headlines?
Almost all weight.
No ownership.
No investments.
No impact.
Here’s what keeps me up at night:
→ Black women start businesses faster than anyone in America
→ We generate over $60 billion in annual revenue
→ But the average Black woman-owned business makes LESS THAN HALF of what white women-owned businesses make
→ 40% of Black women live in households making under $50K/year
→ Single Black women have 90% LESS wealth than single white men
Our bodies trend.
Our bank accounts get systematically suppressed.
Meanwhile?
GLP-1 spending jumped 500% in five years.
From $13.7 billion to $71.7 billion.
We are profitable as patients.
Clickable as “transformations.”
Marketable as before-and-after photos.
But where’s that energy for the Black women who built empires when it was literally dangerous to be rich and Black?
Before 1970:
→ Madam C.J. Walker built a beauty empire
→ Annie Turnbo Malone created distribution networks
→ Both became millionaires in a world that didn’t see them as fully human
They used OWNERSHIP the way we’re now told to use injections:
As a tool to change what everyone said was “genetic,” “inevitable,” or “just how it is.”
Most people can name Ozempic.
But not a single Black woman millionaire from 1920.
Let that satisfying sink in.
I’m not anti-medication.
I’m anti-narrative that stops at the scale.
Because while the internet obsesses over Black women’s waistlines?
It keeps deleting our bottom lines.
That’s why on February 1, I’m launching a series here:
Deleted History: 28 Black Women Millionaires They Prayed You’d Never Discover
→ I’m unveiling the stories of 28 women
→ All pre-1970
→ All receipts of what happens when Black women get ownership, capital, and strategy instead of just criticism
Understand this:
Our weight pics aren’t the only radical “before and after” we can create as Black women...
It’s in our P&Ls.
Our cap tables.
Our retirement accounts.
Our teams.
The women we help cross seven figures.
