"Join Happy Black Woman in New York City for a 1-day LIVE seminar and networking event that will inspire you to think big, motivate you to take action and empower you to build a successful business doing what you love!"

Do you desire to quit your job and start living life on your own terms?

Is it time for you to finally create a business that aligns with your passion and purpose?

Have you been longing to meet like-minded women who have big dreams for their lives and businesses?

If you answered 'yes' to any of those questions, then make plans to join Happy Black Woman Founder Rosetta Thurman LIVE for a full day of high-content training, authentic networking and mutual support in New York City!

According to the 2015 State of Women-Owned Businesses Report, Black women are now the fastest-growing entrepreneurs in the United States, starting businesses at 6 times the national average.

Despite such numbers, Black women entrepreneurs typically start their ventures with less funding than men. In addition to lack of access to capital, the lack of connections to influential networks and mentors are significant challenges facing black women business owners today.

That's why Rosetta Thurman is hosting the inaugural Black Women of Power NYC, a 1-day seminar and networking event designed to empower black women entrepreneurs to grow their businesses in 2017!

As a result of learning from expert speakers, you will learn how to increase your innovation, influence and impact through:

• building your brand
• leveraging social media
• mastering the art of sales
• transforming your money mindset
• improving your speaking skills
• ...and much more!

This will be a great opportunity to learn and make new friends with like-minded women who are committed to pursuing their business goals in 2017!
