Subject: Actualizing the “American dream” for entrepreneurs of color.
Date: September 16, 2023
It’s a fact: Entrepreneurs of color, particularly Black and Latine, have smaller, less profitable businesses when compared to those owned by White entrepreneurs. The reason? Structural inequities exacerbated by national crises like rising inflation and the pandemic.
Sharpen your #2 pencils and join us to problem-solve how we help actualize the “American dream” for entrepreneurs of color. You’re officially invited to our back to school session happening on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, from 3:00 to 4:00 PM ET: “Policies for Inclusive Entrepreneurship 101”!
We’re teaming up with the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB), the Pierce County Business Accelerator, and Small Business Majority to deliver an enticing panel discussion highlighting ways to promote inclusive entrepreneurship through policy. This 101 “crash course” invites you to:
Explore and co-create strategies around the broader policy changes that are needed to dismantle structural barriers for entrepreneurs of color
Take a collective look at how entrepreneurship support organizations (ESOs) are helping Black and Latine entrepreneurs in their communities
Review key takeaways from our recently released report published in collaboration with the Progressive Policy Institute, “Inclusive Entrepreneurship Is Key to Unlocking Equal Opportunity”
📝 Some homework for you before this session 📝
This conversation will explore our recently released report published in collaboration with the Progressive Policy Institute, “Inclusive Entrepreneurship Is Key to Unlocking Equal Opportunity” that highlights the long-standing structural inequities that have limited entrepreneurs of color, how the pandemic exacerbated those inequities, and provides examples of how organizations in three cities across the country supported entrepreneurs of color in their communities using pandemic relief funds.
This webinar is a chance for us to have a discussion on how we can channel policy change to actualize the “American dream” for entrepreneurs of color by centering their needs.
This webinar is free, but advanced registration is required—so register today!
