STATISTICS SHOW THAT 252 MILLION ENTREPRENEURS OUT OF APPROXIMATELY 582 MILLION IN THE WORLD ARE FEMALE. ADDED TO 153 MILLION WOMEN WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN RUNNING BUSINESSES, WE CAN SEE THE IMPACT OF WOMEN ON BUSINESS. THE GREAT DISCOVERY IS THAT 70% OF THESE WOMEN ARE AFRICAN-AMERICAN. THAT’S RIGHT: HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW RELEASED A NEW REPORT SHARING THAT IN THE U.S., “17% OF BLACK WOMEN ARE IN THE PROCESS OF STARTING OR RUNNING NEW BUSINESSES, COMPARED TO JUST 10% OF WHITE WOMEN, AND 15% OF WHITE MEN.” FPI-NETWORK IS DETERMINED TO INCREASE THOSE NUMBERS. THE MODERATE RATE OF 17% CAN ONLY INDICATE THAT MORE WOMEN OF COLOR ARE INTERESTED IN STARTING BUSINESSES. OUT OF THIS MODERATE PERCENTAGE “ ONLY 3% CONTINUE TO RUN MATURE BUSINESSES. REASONS FOR THE DROPOFF POINT TO OBSTACLES IN ACCESSING CAPITAL AND THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES LAUNCHED TEND TO BE IN CROWDED MARKETPLACES WITH LOWER MARGINS.” THE FPI-NETWORK HAS RECOGNIZED THAT ASSETS, FUNDING, AND INFORMATION SHARING ARE MARGINAL IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE NETWORK WILL FUND INCUBATOR PROGRAMS TO HELP TALENTED AND THRIVING WOMEN LAUNCH THEIR BUSINESSES FROM CONCEPTION TO LAUNCH.
Efficacy as Legacy: Filling Our Storefront with 10 Black-Owned Companies

2. Promote Economic Empowerment: This initiative is part of our broader mission to strengthen the economic position of black women by providing opportunities for visibility and access to a wider customer base.
3. Foster Community Engagement: We want our storefront to serve as a hub for the local community, where black-owned businesses can collaborate, share resources, and contribute to the overall growth of the neighborhood.
Selection Process:
- We will identify 10 black-owned companies that align with our mission and values.
- Preference will be given to businesses led by black women who are ready to expand their operations and are seeking a platform for increased exposure.
- Each selected business will have access to the storefront for a determined period, with the opportunity to participate in joint marketing efforts and community events.

Farley Productions, Inc. have been partnering with Community Organizations in an effort to promote Social and Gender Equality. We call this initiative #100WOMENSTRONGMOVEMENT.
It is the #100WOMENSTRONGMOVEMENT that have catapulted women recovering from Depression, Homelessness and Domestic Violence situations and into Entrepreneurship. It is our goal to help 100 women a year become financially independent through Entrepreneurship and Continuing Education.
We don't take for granted our Community! Given the integral career role that Networking (as a tool) has played in my life and as evident of it's success in the Corporate World, it pains me to see how underutilized it is among Women of Color. Although as Women we are typically seen as Social, we actually network less than men. When we Network; we support our Local Leaders. The UnSung; the ones who have Callouses yet a ready shoulder. The ones who don't require Pedestals and still are always ready to burden the weight of empathy and live to Inspire!
Being Intentional
At FPInc. we focus on Building Women through Networking, Business Development-Coaching and Entrepreneurship. Our Forums are Designed to provide inspiration and counsel to women entrepreneurs through the tools of one-on-one coaching, business modeling and information-sharing from Professional and Successful Women who've walked the same path.
As a Black Woman CEO, I am a firm believer in Community. Undivided and Informed; women are invincible! I'm looking forward to Building out America's Largest Chain-Network of Women, and anticipating you being one of the strongest links in this chain. Please accept this as a personal invitation to join our Network! Join our NYC Chapter for Monthly get-togethers to brainstorm new business strategies and tactical solutions for being a Boss!
