So many business owners of color suffered destruction of their dreams this summer. Looting and burning followed months of little or no income. How long can they stay positive, how long before their efforts reward them again? Despair tempts.
"Shark Tank" investor Daymond John wants to head off that urge o give up. From his point of view as a business owner, he thinks they need "support from industry peers, honest conversations about Black business and, during a time of heightened emotional stress, quality entertainment."
October 24 will be the first Black Entrepreneurs Day offering some of that online, featuring one-on-one conversations with black business leaders (like Shaq O'Neal). John will share his own struggles and failures.
He says, “You see people out there burning businesses when they should be building them.”
