What Happens After Layoffs? Why 92% of Us Aren’t Waiting Anymore
Over 106,000 Black women lost their jobs in just one month — many of them veterans of DEI, HR, and government roles. For some, the layoffs came suddenly. For others, the writing had been on the wall since the national tide began to shift away from equity-focused initiatives.
But what’s happening next is even more powerful: 92% of us are choosing not to wait.
Instead of refreshing job boards, we’re launching. Instead of asking for seats, we’re building the table.
💡 What Is a GPT?
GPTs are private AI assistants trained to do specific tasks — like lead generation, sales, and content creation — tailored to your business or brand.
They’re:
- Smarter than a chatbot
- Faster than a freelancer
- Available 24/7 without burnout
🧠 Why Black Women Are Using GPTs to Build Now
In the wake of the DEI rollback, many Black women are facing a painful reality: years of career work centered in DEI may no longer be viewed as “relevant experience” by traditional employers.
But here’s the truth: your experience is valuable. You don’t need another job title — you need a system that turns your knowledge into income.
That’s where GPTs come in.
I built a suite of GPTs specifically to help Black women:
- Start a service-based business from scratch
- Automate lead generation and follow-ups
- Create consistent content for visibility
- Pitch offers and close sales without hiring staff
And every toolkit comes with onboarding — no tech background required.
🔥 You’re Not Alone — You’re Early
The world is changing, and this moment, while heavy, is also ripe with opportunity.
Whether you want to freelance, consult, coach, or build a productized offer — GPTs can cut your build time in half and help you launch smarter, faster, and leaner.
It’s not about waiting for your old job back. It’s about building your future forward.
