10 Black Entrepreneurs You Should Have Your Eyes On

These Black business owners are dominating 2020.
10 Black Entrepreneurs You Should Have Your Eyes On
By Brooklyn White · Updated May 1, 2024

2019 was filled with brilliant innovations from Black women. I mean, where do we start? From viral lash lines, to a crocheted design that was approved by Solange Knowles herself, we reminded the world that we know how to make magic. But we did more than create and inspire the masses – we made sure to keep our focus on our coin, too. In 2020, we’re maintaining that energy and building businesses that will stand the test of time. After all, we’re dreamers, influencers, and entrepreneurs.

Girls United rounded up 10 entrepreneurs who we believe will experience immense success in 2020. Be sure to give them a follow and support their endeavors!
