About Me:
It seems like only yesterday, when I was sitting at my computer desperately searching for other 'Web Women of Color'; business savvy ladies who were as glued to their computers as I was, blogging, making websites, and searching for new ways to make money online. My search inspired me to create the Sistas Makin Money page on myspace, which eventually gave me the idea to start Black Business Women Online, a network for Women Entrepreneurs of Color.
Only a few months in the making and Black Business Women Online has turned into a network of almost 2500 women. From Side Hustle Sistas to established Business Owners, the BBWO network is overflowing with women entrepreneurs who are not just promoting their own businesses, but supporting other women so more Black Women can turn their dreams into business ventures. And their are so many different types of business women on BBWO. Clothing Line Owners, Singers, Publishers, Authors, Event Planners, Bloggers, Web Designers, Magazine Creators, Actors, Preachers, Life Coaches, Cooks, Radio Hosts, Djs, Lawyers, Work at Home Moms, Cosmetic and Beauty Product Makers... the list is practically endless. I love the diversity of the group and the fact that we have a space to talk about our issues as Black Women, Moms, and Business Owners.
Wanting this network to be more than simply a bulletin board of Ads, I've worked hard to encourage a strong sense of community on BBWO. Members are sharing advice, real business information, buying each other's products, and tapping into our own network of business services as a way to recycle black dollars back into our community. My eyes water ever single time a new member tells me how much being apart of BBWO has changed their lives. So many women are amazed to find a network like this, and I feel so blessed to have created it. Being able to not only build my own business, but work with other women who are doing their own thing, has truly been a win win for me.
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know about the Sistas Making Money on my network: Black Business Women Online. I look forward to seeing it grow even bigger in the near future.

Hi Thank you for featuring me!!!!

Lady LaShanda!!!!!! Oh my, I mean really, oh my. Thank you SO MUCH! I don't believe this and this came on a day when I needed to hear this most. Thank you for providing the platform for me to be able to showcase my handiwork and fellowship online with my beautiful black sisters. I am so very grateful and undone. This is the motivation that I TRULY needed to hear and see. I needed confirmation that I am headed in the right direction. Thank you, once again, for the confirmation, LaShanda. Your support has given me an extra life line.
Thank you LaShanda for featuring our 2012 African American Calendars this month in the photos section of BBWO. I'm still out here sister... trying to do my thing.
Love You!
Hi LaShanda
Yes I am loving everything that you are offering me, and others , from time to time I come online to see what's happening . I thank you so much
Hello LaShanda,
You have so much valuable information here that I'm probably missing what I'm looking for. I'm looking for your information on creating my own banner. I believe you have a kit?? I'm one those people who, when I go to the mall, I go for exactly what I want and leave. LOL... So where can I find it (banner details) pretty quickly?? :) Thanks so much for all you do. I'm inspired and encouraged to grow forward.
Greetings LaShanda!
It is my joy to become BBWO friends with you. Here's hoping all is well at your end. I look forward to networking and getting to know you better. Thank you, for providing a place where Black Business Women, women of color, women and men(I've seen a few lol) can come to network and exchange ideas and information.
Blessings.
