State of Black businesses: What can be learned from Black women-led business growth?

Brookings Metro will host a virtual event to assess the state of Black women-owned employer businesses across the U.S., in collaboration with the Path to 15|55 initiative, which endeavors to grow the percentage of Black-owned employer firms. Brookings Senior Fellow Andre Perry will present findings from a forthcoming report analyzing Black business growth in the U.S. from 2017 to 2020. An expert panel will share their insights, discussing the role that Black women can play in growing economically diverse and thriving communities across the U.S., the barriers that they face, and how we can capitalize on the current momentum to build on the gains already made.
