Small Business Town Hall

We are hosting a Small Business Town Hall on June 10th, 2020 from 6 - 8 pm EST. This town hall is about coming together in solidarity to publicly commit to using our power and influence as small business owners to actively make progress in the fight for racial justice and equity. During this event we will present a plan for small business owners that are committed to building anti-racist organizations.

This has uplifted and inspired me as a white human small business owner to make intentional actionable steps, not only professional and personally, but also in my community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as a nurse coach, life-embrace coach, and intuition facilitator. Thank you!

My podcast is a platform in which I am honored to feature my amazing Black colleagues.

I am learning a lot.

Thank you Rachel and entire panel for coming together and taking action towards anti-racist. My biggest takeaway was the framework listed by Erika on the Liberatory Consciousness Framework. It gave me a comprehensive list of actions to work from in order to be a part of change.

Very helpful, organized and inspiring. ✊🏾🖤 As for resources, google & FB are good for search. The latter probably helps for more review feedbacks. What about services that one cannot find a black-owned vendor, e.g., I was dropping Zoom and could not find a black-owned platform. I looked at ownership, promos over the years, board makeup etc. Can we talk more about parameters to consider as you go deeper to support black business, e.g., a white-owned business that promotes black employees in leadership, boards, develpment, has had a face in their promotions for years (not just 2020 #BLM) etc.?
