We celebrate athletes.
We celebrate entertainers.
We headline those who shout the loudest.

But what about the builders?
The creators?
The quiet warriors?

What about the Latina and Black women who turned nothing into everything
Who took a single brick and built skyscrapers,
Who turned vision into value,
And dreams into billion-dollar realities?

It’s time we center the founders—the ones rewriting economic history:

  • Jessica Alba – Co-founded The Honest Company, a clean consumer goods brand, valued at $1B+
  • Rihanna – Launched Savage X Fenty, an inclusive fashion empire, now valued at $1B
  • Iman Abuzeid – Co-founded Incredible Health, transforming nurse hiring, valued at $1B
  • Julia Collins – Founded Zume Pizza, an AI-powered food startup, valued at $2.25B
  • Flori Marquez – Co-founded BlockFi, a fintech disruptor, valued at $3B

These women didn’t just build businesses—they built blueprints for what’s possible.

Let’s normalize honoring them
The economic architects.
The change-makers.
The role models our daughters (and sons) should know by name.

If you’re building—keep going.
We see you.
And we’re cheering you on.
