Small Business Matters

Successful black owned businesses are one of the most important catalysts of African American independence, and they’ve never faced a more critical period of challenge and transformation. Day 3 is all about helping new and veteran entrepreneurs find opportunities and leverage their strengths for long-term success. Find out how to tap into recovery assistance and new sources of capital. And learn from master entrepreneurs what strategies produce healthy returns for new and growing ventures.

Our panel will explore the cost of historical racial discrimination on Black owned businesses, the accountability of the public and private sector in creating equitable landscapes, and breaking down systemic barriers to build sustainable, wealth generating business.
