According to a 2020 report in Archinect, only 0.4% of licensed architects in the United States are Black women. And a recent survey from Zippia revealed that within a $17.5 billion industry, there are only 2.3% of interior designers in the U.S. who identify as Black or African American. Although the statistics speak for themselves, the number of Black-led design firms and minority-owned studios is noticeably increasing by the day, and more resources are becoming available. During the pandemic, many members of the Black community experienced a heightened level of visibility. Even though short-term progress is certainly being made, the design and architecture industry still has so much room for improvement in the long run.
