The Love Story of Ursula Burns, the First Black Woman CEO of a Fortune 500 Company

Aisle Tell You What • Love Black History

Mar 11 2024 • 22 mins

We're continuing our Black Women in Excellence series with a look at the love story of Ursula Burns, the former CEO of Xerox and the first Black woman to be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Ursula's success is largely due to the support of her husband, scientist Lloyd Bean. Their love story is so unique compared to what we are used to, but was beautiful nonetheless.

Aisle Tell You What is a weekly podcast that shares the weddings, marriages, and romances of Black figures throughout time. We bask on these relationships not to be messy but to remind you of the passion in our past and to humanize the people we put on pedestals. Basically, it's all love… Black History. Aisle Tell You What is brought to you by Hueido.

Hueido is a media brand that adds color to Black weddings and marriage from yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
