Janice Bryant Howroyd (JBH) is the first African-American woman to start a billion-dollar business when she reached that milestone in 2018.

Not only has she built a great business, but she’s made an incredible impact along the way, consistently lifting up others and giving back.

Her story showcases the value of resilience, how going above and beyond for customers pays off, and the power of compound growth.
