▪️Oprah Winfrey – From humble beginnings to becoming a media mogul, Oprah reshaped the entertainment industry and showed us that true success lies in giving back to the community.

These powerful figures remind us that entrepreneurship is more than just building a business—it’s about making a lasting impact, breaking barriers, and uplifting others.

In the face of current challenges, especially with the growing cutbacks to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, now more than ever, it’s essential to keep this history alive, support local Black-owned businesses, and encourage the next wave of entrepreneurs. 🙏🏾🚀

Let’s honor the past, celebrate the present, and push forward together to create a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. 🌍🔥💪
