2. Women-owned businesses continue to have enormous economic impact. It is
estimated that, in 2008, there are 7.2 million majority-owned, privately-held women-
owned businesses in the United States. These firms employ 7.3 million people and
generate $1.1 trillion in sales. Furthermore, women-owned firms are becoming
increasingly diverse—in terms of race, industry and size. Women of color now own
one in five women-owned firms and women of all colors are expanding into non-
traditional industries, such as construction, manufacturing, agriculture, and
transportation.

6. WORK LIFE BALANCE
Programs and activities targeted to address major issues affecting Black Women and the
communities in which they live.
The AMBCC Women’s League will frequently host a series of
roundtables, workshops, and conferences designed to
expose overlooked challenges and triumphs that women of
African decent face in the areas of health, education and
relationships.
Health Issues:
Due to the lack of knowledge, trust of the health care system, and
access to life-saving treatments, African American women are 85
percent more likely to develop diabetes and 30 percent more likely
to die from breast cancer and heart disease than white women.
Career Issues:
Two-thirds of black undergraduate students are women.
At historically black colleges, the ratio of women to men is over 10
to 1. African American women have surpassed black men in
college enrollment and business ownership. Exploration of the
sacrifice and success of women will be conducted.
Relationship Issues:
The percentage of African-American women between 25-54-years-
old who have never been married has doubled from 20 percent to
40 percent compared to 16 percent of white women have never
been married. Examination of the implications of these statistics
and how they are redefining black families and their social
structure will be an ongoing area of focus.
