Black Women are the fastest growing group of
business owners in the United States. 

But we are least likely to have help...
 ​Statistically, 97.5% of us do not have a single employee to help share the load. This translates to low revenue businesses and high burn out. We created Just BE to bring Black Women Entrepreneurs together to network across instead of up.

Let's level up together! ​

Community Praise
Just Be Oakland inspires and motivates us to be more than we can be. As an entrepreneur, more specifically a black woman entrepreneur, the fortitude it takes to build this business is often more than a notion. Having a network like Just Be buoys me, keeps me on the path to success and is the place I go to receive, and also give a hand.​
