Nikki Porcher Selected As Research Fellow By The Center For Black Entrepreneurship
Founder of Buy From A Black Woman, Nikki Porcher, will be conducting research on the impact of the defunding of DEI initiatives on Black Women-Owned Businesses.
"Being selected as a research fellow by the Center of Black Entrepreneurship is an incredible honor. Our study will shed light on the compounded challenges that Black Women Business Owners face, so that policymakers and small business support organizations can develop targeted initiatives that foster a more inclusive and equitable entrepreneurship ecosystem,” explains Nikki Porcher. “And I’m excited to work with Nantale Muwonge on this vital research that will drive meaningful change and support for our community," adds Nikki.
By examining the intersecting factors of race, gender and socio-economic status, this study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the experiences, barriers and resilience strategies employed by Black Women Entrepreneurs; and in turn shed light on the implications of these findings for Black entrepreneurship. This research will build upon Buy From A Black Woman’s previous study, Black Women Deserve Support: A Pre-Pandemic & COVID-19 Comparative Report2, which was conducted in April 2020 to learn how COVID-19 was affecting Black Women Business Owners.
All Black Women Business Owners are invited to participate in the study by taking the research survey3, and allies are encouraged to participate by amplifying the study. For more information on Buy From A Black Woman’s research initiative, please visit BuyFromABlackWoman.org/Survey.
