Dianna Hobbs and other women like her are leading
the charge. According to the Women's Center for Business
Research U.S. Bureau Census Statistics, firms owned
by women of color are growing at five times the rate
of all U.S. firms. As a matter of fact, as of 2006 there
were an estimated 849,430 firms in the U.S. 50% or more
owned by African American women, generating more than
$36 billion in sales (www.cfwbr.org/assets/619_womenofcoloroverviewwebco.pdf).
African American Christian Women are everywhere, starting
businesses, occupying executive-level positions, and
launching successful international ministries. Still,
in light of all their major contributions, things are
not, by any means, being handed to them on silver platters.
"We have to work harder, think faster, and be more agile
than the majority," says Hobbs, also Vice President
of Hobbs Ministries, a Christian copywriting firm. Consequently,
in order to create inroads for themselves, a trend is
emerging among women of color. Through advanced technology,
social media, and online communities; they are networking,
creating viable connections, and opening up opportunities
that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
With the emergence of new platforms like Empowering
Everyday Women Online Magazine, the gap is rapidly being
closed. "Since we launched EEW Magazine it's been great
to see women pouring in, submitting articles for consideration,
and supporting the site in general. I believe it's because
we're giving them a voice," reports Hobbs. Though African
American Christian women have historically been overlooked,
there have been some improvements. Influential leaders,
corporate executives, and Christian organizations are
showing support for Minority and Women-owned sites like
www.eewmagazine.com
by visiting regularly, spreading the word, advertising,
and submitting useful content.
The benefits are mutual. Christian leaders, entrepreneurs,
event coordinators, recording artists, and authors gain
enhanced visibility for relevant products, services,
and events while positively impacting thousands of Empowering
Everyday Women readers.
EEW Magazine customizes smart ad campaigns to increase
ROI for its sponsors and supporters. Through diverse
methods of advertising that include: Interviews, advertorials,
banner ads, book and event reviews; as well as, other
customized solutions, clients maximize their advertising
dollars.
Empowering Everyday Women Online Magazine provides
a Christian alternative to secular magazines. It is
an advertiser-supported site and is free and open to
women worldwide, regardless of race, religion, culture
and creed.
Registered users can contribute their original bylined
articles, stories, quick tips, and recipes to be featured
in the magazine. The exposure garners interest in their
work. Registration is free of charge and provides a
major platform to connect with other African American
Christian women, share ideas, and gain support for initiatives.
The magazine allows them to interact and be heard.
