You do not have to do it alone.
We know how it feels to be alone at a cafe staring at your computer for hours or on your couch trying to figure out how you are going to get this money and live your best entrepreneur life. We've been stressed and isolated too. Guess what? It does not have to be this way.
We created Just BE to bring Black Women Entrepreneurs together to, in Issa Rae's words, network across instead of up. Statistically, it turns out that in the United States, of all of the entrepreneurship demographics, Black Women business owners are least likely to have help , as 97.5% of us do not have employees. This translates to low grossing businesses and burn out. Just BE is here to shift the culture of isolation and burn out to building a culture of community.

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.
