Workshop Recap: “Rise up! Black Deaf Businesses Surviving in the Pandemic”

(part of the Financial Education Workshop Series)

The ongoing pandemic has had a grave impact on small businesses all over the world. In the US, Black business owners have faced an even more heightened struggle; the Federal Reserve Bank has reported that the number of active Black-owned small businesses declined 41% between February to April 2020! What does that mean for Black Deaf-owned businesses in our community?

In this four-part workshop series, CSD Learns’ Jazzy Jones guided viewers through the history of finance and the impact it has on the Black community in the post-slavery period, as well as how the current pandemic continues to affect Black-owned businesses.

Throughout the series, we’ve had the opportunity to spotlight Black Deaf entrepreneurs by inviting them to share how their businesses have been affected or sustained during this challenging time. Want to learn more?
