For the past three years, I have be advocating for Black women to eligible to receive the FBE certification in the City of Columbus. All other women of color are able to select their gender over their race. I have spoken with A. Troy Miller. He is the chair of the minority business committee and City Council President Pro Tem. He has done absolutely nothing on this matter.
This morning I placed calls to City Council President Andrew Ginther and the Mayor’s Office inquiring why Black women can’t receive a Female Business Certification. I will keep you posted on their responses. It is amazing the 4 of the 7 City Council members are Black and they have done nothing about this important issue.
Lack of access equals lack of opportunity! Black women are WOMEN!
Do you think Black women should be able to apply for FBE certification?
