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

But we are least likely to have help...

 ​We created Just BE to bring Black Women Entrepreneurs together to, in Issa Rae's words, network across instead of up. Statistically, 97.5% of us do not have a single employee or contractor to help share the load. This translates to low grossing businesses and high burn out. This is compounded by the fact that we are least likely to receive start up capital. Black Women start ups are granted $30,000 on average compared to $1 million dollars for the average failed start up led by a white man. 

We know how it feels to be isolated and alone trying to play the business game. But guess what? It does not have to be this way.


​You do not have to do it alone. ​

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.​
