Equity in Business
The United States is facing a racial wealth gap that has existed for over 330 years. But at the same time, businesses run by systematically excluded communities of color (Asian-Indian, Asian-Pacific, Black, Hispanic, and Native American) still contribute nearly $400 billion to the U.S. economy, even though these communities face barriers to information, capital, and contracts. Hosted by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), this podcast channel explores how growing minority business enterprises (MBEs) is central to not only addressing the racial wealth gap but also creating a stronger, more resilient society for all.
