News flash that’s less of a news flash and more of an are-you-freaking-kidding-me-still: In 2021, women of color held just 4 percent of C-level roles at U.S. companies. That number looks even worse when you narrow it down to C-level women of color founders, who—in addition to breaking down representational barriers in the country’s highest executive positions—*also* take on all the entrepreneurial grunt work while **also** setting new standards of excellence. And then there’s the fact that fewer than 1 percent of all venture capital dollars are going to these founders! It’s maddening. Which is why Cosmopolitan and digitalun divided (a nonprofit that focuses on catalyzing economic growth for Latina and Black female entrepreneurs) are beyond excited to do something positive: to celebrate the New C-Suite Class of 2022, 10 women who are redefining their industries while redirecting workplace culture. Prepare to be very, very inspired.
