Launching and supporting Black-owned businesses | Mandy Bowman | TEDxDover

We've read stats showing that Blacks have a buying power of $1.2 Trillion dollars and that Black women are starting businesses at a faster rate than any other group, but is this enough to change the economic inequalities that plague Black neighborhoods? Mandy Bowman discusses how it's time to focus on creating and supporting Black businesses to build long term/generational wealth.
Mandy Bowman is the Founder of Official Black Wall Street and the Social Media Manager at Essence Magazine. With a deep-rooted passion for all things social media, entrepreneurship, and Black culture, Mandy has worked tirelessly to empower and support Black entrepreneurs through her digital platform and Black business directory, Official Black Wall Street. When she isn't working to fuel Black businesses through the Official Black Wall Street platform, she is volunteering as a mentor to inner city students and creating social strategies.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I agree if we don’t learn from our past we are destined to repeat, but we are now at a moment in time when action is needed.

[@lisah9592]

i love her presentation. She sounds so nervous though. Keep going sis! You got it

[@Jewelerphotoapparel]

yes she is

[@DavidAdonisxxx]

She didn't sound nervous to me. She was on point

[@CyberBuki]

I agree... but I think it was that badge: when speaking, she kept hitting it and that sound makes her sound nervous.

[@Gabriellaella23]

Yes her voice was shaky, but her words were true. She did a great job and is probably better now.

Natural, there’s a lot of math involved in forex trading,😊😊

[@georgelamba5185]

but this is often presented in forms of daunting technical charts, indicators, patterns.😋😋

[@AmandaandSaint]

This was a beautiful presentation. We are only coming across this now but it is so relevant. We can get where we want to be if we change the way we do things and support each other. We recently spoke about other ways that we can support each other on our channel. (Small KZbinr here :))
