African American and Latina girl bosses are the fastest growing groups of entrepreneurs but yet we find ourselves on the bottom of the totem pole in earnings per firm. Where do we fall short? 1. We are great at our craft, not so much at the business of building a business. 2. We have little access to funding so starting up or scaling our business for growth is more challenging 3.We aren't aware of resources that are out there to help us become successful.

As a result, in 2020 the Prestige Society decided to focus their efforts on our #CLOSETHEGAP campaign. A campaign where we help women build their businesses, connect them with resources to win, and begin sowing seeds in bosses who are unapologetically going all in with building thriving businesses. Internally, we kicked off Boss Academy as our new member incubator and accelerator program in an effort to teach women how to build financially thriving and foundationally sound organizations. Externally, we are hosting a series of networking events, roundtables, and virtual events to start the dialogue around what challenges female founders like yourself are experiencing with building your brand and more importantly what can we do collectively to help one another overcome those challenges.

Come and network with us! Grab gems and pay it forward. Let's support one another and #closethegap!
