Black entrepreneurs in Minnesota face tough challenges and a lack of guidance as they try to break into the business world. That was the key takeaway from a community forum sponsored by Sahan Journal that drew more than two dozen people to the Capri Theater in Minneapolis last week.
The panelists at “Meet the boss: Me. Black, African entrepreneurs talk about making it in Minnesota” discussed the business environment in the state while reflecting on their journeys as entrepreneurs of color. They also discussed major obstacles that would-be businesspeople are facing such as a lack of mentorship and funding.
