Words for the women still being overlooked.

There is another kind of invisibility we don't talk about enough. Being seen, but not actually being seen.

Maybe we are standing in plain sight, shining so brightly that systems built to recognize familiar patterns don't quite know what they are looking at.

That is the invisibility this piece is about. Not absence. Unrecognized presence.

This is not a talent problem. This is not a pipeline problem. This is not a preparation problem. It is an access problem.

Black women do not need to be discovered. Black women need to be funded.

The question is whether investors are willing to stop overlooking the future while it is standing directly in front of them.
