Years ago, access into industry has been a challenge for Black/African American communities. To counter the systemic barriers that have limited wealth generation across generations, business ownership and entrepreneurship have always served as a means to support the Black family. In particular, as society has evolved there has been a growth of many new and old industries, many of which have not been accessed by Black and Brown people. Why do we not have access to these types of industries? What barriers are present that prevent us from either starting out or finding success? How do we we TAP INto industries such as the wine, spirits, or even hemp industries, just name a few, in order to build wealth & success? What are we missing as a community? Join Nick, James and their friend Jamaal Penick, an Economic Development Officer for the 2020 Farmers Collective, in this engaging and dynamic conversation where they address these very questions and so much more. Let’s just say, this work that we do is much BIGGER than us.
