Janice Bryant Howroyd is proof that vision, persistence, and bold leadership can build empires.

As the founder of ActOne Group, she owns the largest Black woman–owned business in the world — generating over $2 billion in annual revenue. Let that sink in. Billion. With a “B.”

She started her company with just $1,500, a small office, and a big belief in herself. No massive investors. No shortcuts. Just strategy, work ethic, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Today, her global workforce management company operates in multiple countries, serving major corporations and creating opportunities for thousands of people.

Her journey is bigger than business. It’s about breaking ceilings in rooms where few expected her to succeed. It’s about representation in corporate leadership. And it’s about showing future entrepreneurs — especially young Black women — that scale is possible.

From a modest beginning to a multibillion-dollar enterprise, Janice Bryant Howroyd didn’t just build a company.

She built legacy.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐚 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐔.𝐒. 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than half of all U.S. births now are to racial and ethnic minority groups, marking a record high.
Black births continue to be a key element in this change. Although the overall number of U.S. births has decreased over the past ten years, the birth rate among Black women has declined at a slower pace than among white women, resulting in a greater proportion of Black Americans among newborns nationwide.
Demographers observe that this shift results from long-term population trends, such as age structure, fertility rates, and consistent birth rates in Black communities, rather than a one-time anomaly. This data indicates an ongoing demographic transition that is already transforming schools, labor markets, and political representation nationwide.

Did you know Black Germans were also persecuted during the Holocaust?

Gert Schramm was just 15 years old when the N***s arrested him and imprisoned him in the Buchenwald concentration camp.

Born in Germany in 1928 to a Black American father and a white German mother, Schramm was targeted under N**i racial ideology that labeled Afro-Germans as “non-Aryan” and racially inferior.

Although Afro-Germans were a small community, they were still subjected to discrimination, harassment, and state violence. Black children were pushed out of schools, families lost jobs, and hundreds of Afro-German youth were forcibly sterilized as part of the N**i effort to erase so-called “undesirable” populations.

This included African Americans, Afro-Caribbean individuals, and Africans living in or passing through the country for work or settlement. At the heart of Germany’s Black community were men from Germany’s former colonies, including East Africa, Togo, and Cameroon along with their German wives and their mixed-race children.

Unlike the genocide carried out against Europe’s Jewish population, the N***s did not implement a single, systematic extermination program specifically targeting Black Germans, and because of that, there is no exact historical record of how many Black people were killed in camps. But historians confirm Afro-Germans were imprisoned, abused, murdered under the N**i regime.

And although Black people still face widespread racism across the world today, the number of researchers and historians who have explored the persecution of Black people under the N***s in any meaningful depth remains relatively small.

Schramm survived Buchenwald..and after the war, he refused silence. In his memoir, My Father Was a Negro: Wer hat Angst vorm schwarzen Mann, he documented what it meant to be a Black teenager living under N**i rule, ensuring Afro-German voices would not be erased from Holocaust remembrance.

His story is a reminder: Black history is global. Holocaust history is broader than many are taught. And remembrance must include every life they tried to erase.
