Our Motivation
The Sadie Collective believes closing the diversity gap in our target fields leads to greater impact on a large scale. We strive to uplift Black women and create transformative mentorship and professional opportunities, because we believe in the Black Women Best framework—the idea that if Black women can thrive in the economy, then the economy must be working for everyone.
