Many Black women utilize side hustles to supplement inadequate wages, addressing the persistent gender and racial pay gap.
While these ventures offer additional income and entrepreneurial opportunities, they often demand extensive work hours, impacting work-life balance.
This juggling act contributes to increased stress, burnout, and mental health challenges, particularly given systemic barriers to funding.
Despite the hardships, side hustles empower Black women economically, fostering wealth creation and boosting minority business ownership.
