In today’s society African American women are using their time, money, and influence to enrich their communities and each other. The consumer behavior of black women, explored by Nielson, reveals that the independently-minded demographic has definitely embraced digital technologies. Some key findings in this report  included:

for a product that is environmentally safe (2% higher than non-Hispanic white women)

As both consumers and creators, African American women are becoming great levelers for the future, according to Cheryl Grace, Senior Vice President, U.S Strategic Community Alliances and Consumer Engagement for Nielson. “We are really seeing the impact that the social and creative movements are having, corporations cant afford not to pay attention to black women” she recently stated.
