For Black women who price their own expertise.

The number you will defend when the buyer asks how you arrived at it.

Our method was built at the negotiating table: 41 enterprise contracts and 1,513 compensation conversations. Every figure we deliver shows its work.

About us

Built because the record was missing.

Companies put a value on everything they own. They never put one on the woman whose work built them, and she carries the habit out the door: she prices her own expertise the way they paid her. Black Women’s Wealth Lab® prices it the way the record supports.

Our mission is to put a documented number under the expertise of 100,000 Black women by 2030, so each one walks into her renewal, proposal or offer with a price she can defend. It’s not aspirational. It’s arithmetic.

Insights

All insights

On the record

Clarity, simplicity and real data. Numbers are not abstract, and this is a simple way to communicate it.

Nora · Med Tech, priced a consulting line from an employed record

My hourly rate increased, and I've since been using that new number.

Dionne Bishop · Events by Dionne Inc.

I realized I was doing more work for the client than I was being paid for. I revisited the agreement and let them know I was not retained for the level of audit support I was providing.

It was $3,500 a week ago. I feel extremely confident about $15,000.

I can’t un-know what I know now.

Shared with written client consent. No individual client valuation is published. Results depend on each client’s record and decision; no raise, rate, contract, or third-party decision is guaranteed.

Begin before the number is decided for you.

The Private Decision Review is no charge. It tells you whether The Decision Desk™ fits the decision in front of you and the date on it. Not every request is accepted.
