Connected Conversations: Minority Business Entrepreneurship and Ownership
|
|
Wednesday, September 9, 2020
|
The Smith Family Business Initiative will host a Connected Conversations webinar that explores the many issues related to business ownership and entrepreneurship by personas of color. The Connected Conversations webinar series explores topics relevant to family business owners, members, advisors, students, and alumni. We invite you to join us as we navigate the current uncertainty in our global economy, and its impacts on family businesses.

As a collective, black business owners represent the smallest group of minority owners in the United States. The obstacles to ownership are many; including access to financial capital, lack of generational wealth, and institutional barriers. In spite of these challenges, black owned businesses have created over one million jobs and generated over $165 billion in revenue, based on a 2019 study by the Black Business Caucus. Recent focus on black business ownership has highlighted the difficulties and opportunities that present both globally and locally during tumultuous times. In this Connected Conversations, owners and entrepreneurs will guide us as we delve deeper into these issues, explore areas of growth, and highlight the resourcefulness and innovation often required of minority owned businesses.
