Facing significant wage disparities, many Black women rely on side hustles to achieve financial stability and close the pay gap.
These entrepreneurial endeavors, while providing supplemental income, often lead to an overwhelming workload and blurred boundaries between work and life.
The pressure, coupled with systemic barriers like limited access to capital, contributes to stress, burnout, and mental health concerns.
Despite the challenges, these side hustles fuel economic empowerment, fostering wealth creation and promoting the growth of Black-owned businesses.
