Two amazing humans navigate the gray as they discuss the long game of stopping the reproduction of racism. The concept came to us from an episode of the Small Business Revolution which featured one of our favorites, the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder. In the episode, they highlight the idea of the long game. The world isn't going to change overnight. We have to continue the fight everyday. In this episode, we tackle that concept - short game or long game? The answer isn't black and white.

Join us for a conversation with Margaret Nyamumbo, founder of Kahawa 1893. Margaret is a third generation coffee farmer and grew up on a farm in Kenya before immigrating to the USA. After earning her MBA from Harvard, she went on to work on Wall Street when she rediscovered her passion for coffee. She founded Kahawa 1893 with a mission to close the gender gap in coffee. In Kenya, over 90% of labor in coffee comes from women, but they aren't fairly compensated because they don't own the land. Kahawa 1893 coffee is roasted and distributed from San Francisco and the brand recently launched in Trader Joe's as the first Black & woman-owned coffee brand to launch in the grocery chain.

AceApplications, is a certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprise  and DBE certified in 11 states. 

For Black History Month we give shout-outs and discuss the state of Black-owned business. The bar: “I'm assistin' to push the culture forward; To all my ghost supporters, go support us; Like a local black-owned grocery store; ’Cause in the hood s*** ain't passed down through blood; It’s a dub on that, we get government aid; Spend it at they stores, puttin' they kids through college; We need balance, so we can lease and own deeds in our projects; So I'm askin' Gs to go in their pockets; The racial economic inequality, let's try to solve it”

In this episode, Courtney Powell, President of AceApplications, LLC (and my tech bae), spills the tea on his journey from Jamaica and his passion for computers. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Courtney migrated to Miami, FL when he was 14 years old. We met while attending the University of Florida and the rest is history!

Culturally in 2020, the conversation around racial injustice has hit a breaking point. COVID-19 exacerbated inequities in health outcomes for Black and Latino Americans, and in the wake of George Floyd’s death, we’ve seen a massive movement for enduring change. The people have spoken. But how will businesses, markets and economies respond?

Today, consumers are seeking ways to support the Black-owned businesses with their dollars, and companies are looking to hire more equitably and inclusively. Even our technology is getting a redesign – to correct biases built right into the programming of tech tools we use everyday.

Hosts Shannon Murphy and Erin Shea are joined by colleague Nadia Batchelor to explore how this powerful movement can create lasting changes in businesses around the world. 

Featuring Nadia Batchelor, Head of Jefferies’ Global Corporate Access Team and the founder and head of J-NOBLE - Jefferies Network of Black and Latinx Employees.

Also featuring:

• Kristina Liburd is the founder & CEO of Viageur and the organizer behind the Black Startup Collective, a directory of Black-owned startups in Boston.
• Stephanie Wemusa is the VP of Diversity and Inclusion for TalVista - a startup that develops tools to support equitable hiring.
• Boyuan Gao is the founder and principle of Project Inkblot, a design for diversity consultancy.
• Evie Cheung is a designer and researcher, exploring the biases built into AI-powered smart voice assistants.

2020 has been a pivotal year of growth and change for Jasmine Tiara, founder of The Black Wallet. From coronavirus throwing a wrench in her work and family routine, to the Black Lives Matter movement surging her business to new heights (and audiences), Jasmine has boldly faced each challenge head on.

In this episode, she shares how a T-shirt led her to build an app for Black entrepreneurs and Black-owned businesses, and how the business has evolved. She also discusses the role of compassion in navigating challenges, the importance of keeping momentum going during a moment of awakening, and why supporting Black-owned businesses is important both to changing perceptions and to our collective success.

It’s a well known fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has been brutal for bars and restaurants. In fact, that ugly reality is becoming more and more clear as restaurants across the nation struggle to remain open. It’s a quandary that leaves food lovers asking, time and time again: What can be done?

Today we’re talking with L. Maxwell McKissick, founder of Serve 60, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting volunteerism across the U.S. During our chat, McKissick talks about his organization, his journey as a Black entrepreneur and how his organization is stepping up during COVID-19 to assist independent restaurants, particularly those owned by people of color. Along the way, we discuss the reasons why Black-owned restaurants have been among the hardest hit, the challenges they face and the very real ways that diners can educate themselves and step up to support them.
