Lillian Lincoln Lambert, entrepreneur and the first Black woman to graduate from Harvard’s MBA program in 1969, created a path for other Black women to excel and positively impact their communities. She grew her company to $20 million, employing over 1,200 individuals before selling it.
“I didn’t know that [I was the first Black woman] till after I graduated,” she humbly states. “I think professor Fitzhugh probably knew, but he didn’t tell me, which was probably a good idea because I’m not sure I would have gone. I think he felt that I had the capability to deal with whatever I might face once I got there.”
She filed for her corporation and planned on doing it part-time after work, signing with corporations that weren’t already clients of her boss. He first said it was fine, only to then fire her. Lambert left in May, setting a deadline of September 30 to make the company work. If it didn’t, she would look for another job.
