Business Women of the African Diaspora on #BlackWallStreetToday with Blair Durham, Eunice Cofie-Obeng, and Abena Aforo

"Growing up, I was made to feel like I was not beautiful because of my  dark skin color and tightly coiled hair. I was often picked on by my  peers. I remember crying endlessly as I was being called names like  "black", "African booty scratcher", or "nappy head".  The bullying did  not just stop at words but it became physical. Girls would take turns  pulling on my hair. I even remember one guy spitting on my hair. The  constant teasing and bullying damaged my self-esteem". - Eunice Cofie-Obeng
