Six Lessons from Black Women Entrepreneurs
This is unapologetically a black women appreciation episode!
The world is on fire, but black women entrepreneurs are killing it in their respective fields and giving me inspiration at the same time.
I wanted to share a few of the lessons I've learned from six amazing black women entrepreneurs: Tabitha Brown, Rachel Rodgers, Danielle Leslie, Dawn Dickson, Teri Ijeoma, and King Ashley Ann. I know you'll find some inspiration from their stories too!

Hi – I'm Shontavia Johnson, and I'm on a mission to help you build a legit business out of your side hustle.
After years of practicing intellectual property law, teaching at a law school + directing its Intellectual Property Law Center, and consulting with entrepreneurs and creators, I decided to start helping people more broadly on my YouTube channel at the beginning of 2020.
I'm a side hustler myself, so I get the grind and want to help you walk through it.
My channel is full of advice, interviews and musings about all things related to side hustling, branding and entrepreneurship. This ain't gonna be your daddy's business advice, but it will help you figure out how to get from point A to point B with your own personal branding and business goals!
