Colored Girls Hustle Blog
Colored Girls Hustle believes that the “hustle” is bigger than a job or occupation. It’s our calling, our passion, our talent, what we do with integrity and courage, a way of living. Hustle is the vehicle we create to reach our goals, a plan of action. Hustlers are enterprising, resilient and visionary people who possess the initiative, courage and imagination to manifest our greatest potential. Hustlers manifest the best of who we are and inspire others to do the same.
Launched October 2012, “On Her Hustle” is a monthly series of interviews with women of color artists, entrepreneurs, healers and activists who hustle hard for our communities. Colored Girls Hustles uses this series to amplify the work, talent, and passions of other women and girls of color.
