BY THE NUMBERS

What do flash mobs, cats and the Harlem Shake have in common? They all have videos that have gone viral.   These videos spark spirit-filled discussions and millions of people share them with their networks each and every day.

Check out Higher Heights’ “By the Numbers” video and let’s spark a nationwide conversation about the state of Black women in America.  Did you know that Black women’s collective spending power is over $565 billion a year, yet the median net worth of a single Black woman is only $100? 

We know you will be as shocked as we were about our numbers.
