The racial wealth divide has been well chronicled and Black households have experienced further exacerbation of the downside of the wealth gap because of COVID-19. The lack of equitable access to capital is continuing to hinder, stall and close Black owned businesses. COVID-19 has impacted our society in more ways than one and Black entrepreneurs are fighting a pandemic within a pandemic. In order to support wealth building in Black communities, philanthropy, the private sector, and the public sector need to coalesce and find strategies to create equitable access to resources and support growth for Black entrepreneurs. Join this conversation, hosted by JPMorgan Chase and ABFE - Impact of the Pandemic on Building Economic Power in Black Communities Through Business & Entrepreneurship - where we will dive deep on the effects of COVID-19 on Black businesses and what steps need to be taken to support recovery and growth that will build Black wealth. Hear from experts from The JPMorgan Chase Institute, ABFE, the CDFI community and more on how we continue to make progress in light of COVID-19. Please join us for a thoughtful, action oriented conversation as we focus on “what’s next?” for Black businesses and building Black wealth in our communities.Sponsored by JPMorgan Chase and ABFE: A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities.
