This study applies the concept of intersectionality to Black women’s entrepreneurial activity. Specifically, the author addresses the ways in which race, gender, and class intersect to inform working-class Black women’s decisions and experiences as hair salon owners. By placing Black women at the center of analysis, the author explores business ownership fromthe perspective of a group that has frequently been overlooked in sociology of entrepreneurship research. The findings indicate that race, gender, and class inequalities shape working-class Black women’s entrepreneurship in two areas: the process of becoming entrepreneurs and relationships with stylists.
