Support the #WLFGiving Campaign

My experience attending Moms Who Hustle was life changing for me and my boys. It built my confidence, unmasked my potential, and it put me into a network where I am mentored by some of the best, confident, female minority entrepreneurs in the world.  - Cymiah Allen | Moms Who Hustle Detroit 

Walker’s Legacy Foundation works to address income, economic and entrepreneurial disparity at the critical intersection of gender and racial equity.  This year’s #WLFGiving Tuesday campaign is focused on our national work to economically empower these marginalized communities. 

Statistics continue to show us that the work our Foundation does everyday to support low-income-single-mothers, low-income women, college-age young women and middle-and-high school aged girls matters, period.  

Below are just a few critical statistics our organization works daily to counter:

• According to the Department of Labor, single working women represent 65% of low-income and 34% of sole breadwinner households within the African American community.   
• Center for Community Economic Development’s finding that single women of color are the biggest group of Americans with zero or negative net-worth.
• Statistics have shown that the systematic discrimination of the black female girls throughout their primary and secondary schooling has lead to 34% of black girls not graduating high school on time versus the 22% of all female students that do not graduate on time. 
• The impact of childhood experiences on the development of entrepreneurial intentions found that early exposure to self-reliance and adaptability to new situations was related to entrepreneurial attainment

What We Do:

1. Provide programming focused on improving financial literacy & financial empowerment skills for low income, high potential multicultural women and girls
2. Equip multicultural women-led micro-enterprises through entrepreneurship training and business development programming
3. Empower college and university women through entrepreneurship, professional development, and leadership opportunities by providing early exposure and hands-on engagement to entrepreneurship, career programming, and curriculum
4. Work to improve the livelihood and economic quality and equality of low-income women and girls
