In America, Black women always show up at the polls, in boardrooms, in classrooms, on frontlines. We lead movements, launch businesses, shape culture, and hold our communities together.
But when we need help, too often the response is silence.
Right now, over 500,000 Black women are out of work.
In the last 90 days alone, 318,000 Black women have lost their jobs due to:
The elimination of DEI roles
Government shutdowns
Entertainment industry cuts
Drying up of investment dollars
And yet, we remain the most educated demographic in America and the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs. We fuel industries, families, and innovation, but we cannot carry the weight alone.
Introducing: The State of Women™ Emergency Relief Fund
This isn’t just a crisis this is an emergency. The State of Women™ Emergency Relief Fund is an urgent response to the economic challenges Black women are facing right now.
Founded by visionary leader @valeisha, produced by @aseedlife, and powered by The Global State of Women™, this initiative is moving with speed and purpose to provide direct cash assistance to Black women in need.
💸 How the Fund Works
The fund provides $500 to $1,500 in emergency support to help cover:
Rent or mortgage
Food and essentials
Childcare
Healthcare and COBRA coverage
Transportation and basic needs
100% of every dollar donated goes directly to women in need no administrative fees, no middlemen, just immediate relief with dignity.
📢 A Collective Call-To-Action
This is about more than statistics.
🗣️ This is about survival.
