The economic toll of racism extends far beyond missed promotions or wage gaps—it silently drains billions through stress-related health issues and reduced productivity. Chronic stress, fueled by workplace discrimination and economic instability, increases the risk of illness, absenteeism, and burnout. For Black women, already navigating the pressure of 2025 job losses, this toll is compounded.
Entrepreneurship offers a powerful alternative. By owning the business, we control the environment, set the pace, and align work with our values. This autonomy reduces stress and creates space for innovation. When mental well-being improves, so does the ability to strategize, network, and build sustainable revenue.
At SpadesLife, we recognize that wealth is more than money—it’s health, time, and freedom. By fostering a marketplace that supports both the financial and emotional needs of entrepreneurs, we’re helping to close the wealth gap in a way that corporate DEI efforts alone have failed to achieve.
