Description

It’s Women’s History Month, and Dr. Venus is excited to celebrate Black Women Billionaires. Yes, there are other Black Women Billionaires besides Oprah, and now, becoming a Black Woman Billionaire is historical defiance. Back in the day, Black Women’s work purchased the American Dream and made others rich. Now, Black Women Billionaires PROVIDE the capital.

 

Dr. Venus spotlights four Black Women Billionaires, all-powerful and extremely diversified in their investments and sectors. She also discusses the painful historical relationship between capitalism and Black Women, and how we must change the narrative and work together to heal historical trauma, be ready to receive, and transcend to Billionaire status.

 

Key Takeaways:

[6:30] Dr. Venus is DONE! White supremacy pollutes things, and she has chosen to put her energy and effort on to bigger and better things. She has gratitude for other things to focus on, such as her truth-teller tribe and the team behind her new tech company.

[8:57] Dr. Venus walks back the relationship between Black Women and the pain associated with capitalism. Black Women in North America (and worldwide) were used just as bodies to produce and make others rich, their loved ones were sold, so it’s no wonder our relationship to money is messed up.

[11:26] Being strong is not a character trait. It is a generationally passed down survival strategy that kept our ancestors alive. When it comes to making money, Black Women have been the work-horse for the American dream. Work has been associated with trading hours for dollars and being socially rewarded for being selfless and stoic. The challenge is to embrace a deep knowing that we have been quick to make other people rich, but we are beyond capable of making our own money, and it is our birthright to do so.

[14:27] When we think about Black Women Billionaires, often the only person that comes to mind for us is Oprah. In order for there to be many more, we must give ourselves permission for this level of wealth and really know internally that we are ready to receive it. We also must rise above the feeling that we don’t deserve it because we didn’t work hard enough for it.

[15:10] To become a billionaire, it’s a state of being, just like it is going from 5 to 6 figures.

[15:57] The social currency of Black culture makes White billionaires, and Dr. Venus is ready for a change, and for Black Women to work together to make each other more prosperous.

[17:25] When you are a billionaire, you have the power to deeply affect not just you, but your loved ones for generations to come. You can put money towards the politician you want, build a hospital in your community, or build your legacy in a way that is meaningful for you. In order to do that, you are going to have to grow out of providing only service-based business.

[20:43] Ngina Kenyatta is the Former First Lady of Kenya and is the widow of the country's first president, Jomo Kenyatta, and also the mother of President Uhuru Kenyatta. Her empire includes real estate, hospitality, and owning thousands of acres of prime land in Kenya. She has an estimated net worth of $1 billion.

[20:39] Folorunsho Alakija also sits on a net worth of $1 billion and a renowned Nigerian businesswoman who has established herself in the oil, printing, real estate, and fashion industries. She works as the managing director of the Rose of Sharon Group and serves as the executive vice-chairman of Famfa Oil Limited.

[23:08] Isabel dos Santos, the richest woman in Africa, is an Angolan billionaire businesswoman who is also famous as the eldest child of the former Angolan President,  José Eduardo dos Santos. Her net worth is $1.7 billion, and she made the vast majority of her wealth by purchasing stakes in companies based in Angola.

[25:013] Oprah Winfrey has a net worth of $2.6 Billion, and is dubbed the “Queen of All Media”. The popular talk show host, actress, philanthropist and producer is considered the wealthiest African American of the 20th century. The media magnate is the chairwoman and chief executive officer of Harpo Productions.

[26:27] Dr. Venus loves the diversity of these amazing Black Women Billionaires.

[27:55] Back in 1913, Sarah Rector became the richest Black girl in America, at only 11 years old. This is not something that is widely taught or talked about in schools today. We talk about Black people overcoming, but we were already wealthy.

[30:31] It’s important that we celebrate us for all that we do and the complexity of all that we are.

[32:27] Now is the time to get ahead of the AI curve and start to think about how to make money digitally.
