Black Livelihoods Matter! This powerful message is the driving force behind Earned Your Crown, a bold, new digital platform hosted on Shine My Crown (ShineMyCrown.Com) and created to empower Black women in their careers.
Designed as a collaboration between Kareem S. Graves’ Shine My Crown and Penny Wrenn’s Penny Wren Media, the platform combines AI-driven tools with curated human storytelling to offer personalized guidance tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities Black women face in today’s workplace.
A Platform Built for Empowerment
Earned Your Crown isn’t just another career advice site—it’s a movement for economic empowerment.
The platform’s value proposition centers on reclaiming power and demanding equity in spaces where Black women’s labor has been historically undervalued.
Key features include:
- Personalized Tools: Interactive AI-driven simulations help users prepare for salary negotiations, navigate workplace dynamics, and track progress toward career goals.
- Campaigns with Impact: Initiatives like From Cotton Fields to Content Farms highlight the exploitation of unpaid digital labor, drawing parallels to historical practices and advocating for systemic change.
- Expert Insights: Stories and advice from trailblazing Black women leaders offer inspiration and actionable strategies.
- Focus on Economic Empowerment: Resources designed to help users understand their earning potential and advocate for fair compensation.
Changing the Career Narrative
Earned Your Crown challenges traditional career timelines, advocating for careers defined by purpose, ambition, and legacy-building.
As life expectancy rises and retirement evolves, this platform redefines what it means to thrive at every stage of professional life.
“Black women are driving incredible change across industries, yet we still face unique challenges. Earned Your Crown is here to address those head-on, equipping us with tools to navigate a complex world while celebrating our power and resilience,” said Penny Wrenn, the media visionary behind the platform.
Launching with Purpose
Earned Your Crown will debut on Shine My Crown, a digital community dedicated to uplifting Black women. With its Media-as-Mixtape approach—layering content like tracks on a playlist—it offers a dynamic and engaging space for learning, connection, and action.
The platform’s unveiling is set against the backdrop of a shifting economy and rising demands for equity.
“Now is the time to rewrite the rules, invest in ourselves, and own our futures,” added Wrenn.
