Black Women and The Self Funding Dilemma

The double whammy for Black women. My sense is that it is partially due to the lack of transparency in VC/Angel funding. How does one go about getting meetings? How does one even know that is the goal? Of course, we all hear about VC/Angel funding, but how many of us really know what that means at a logistical or tactical level?
And, even when we know, how do you get meetings when there is so much conscious and unconscious bias, and when the rules of play have to do with who you know and who can make the introductions?
