About PIFN Group

Pay It Forward Networking Group was created to bring together women of color for the purpose of advancement and the promotion of professionals through sharing ideas, resources, and creating opportunities that can benefit one another. This group welcomes diversity as we can learn from each other's differences. The heightened focus is on women of color.

In 1860 there were no black women who had a college degree. In 2019 nearly 10% of Black Women earned a college degree (diverseeducation.com; Why College-Educated Black Women Are Threats in 2021). Black people account for about 12% of the U.S. population but occupy only 3.2% of the senior leadership roles at larger companies in the U.S. and just 0.8% of all Fortune 500 CEO positions according to the analysis by the Center for Talent Innovation (cbsnews.com: Why so many Black Business Professionals are Missing from the C-suite).

The goal of Pay It Forward Networking Group is to bridge the gap between black professionals and corporate America in order to elevate in entrepreneurship. We understand the importance of being well rounded in areas of economics, finances, real estate, and stocks. We promote financial freedom, home ownership, and wealth building in the black community in professional sectors where we are underrepresented.
