Hello, my name is Sabrina and I'm a Black Female Boss. I created this site because I want to share my experiences in business with others. Unfortunately, I don't go a week without a form of sexism or racism, but I've learned how to handle it and hopefully I can provide some motivation and inspiration for others as a result of my experiences.
