Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Danielle McGee Gibson, Founder and CEO of Black Business Boom, who highlights the organization's mission and efforts to empower and champion the economic growth of Black business owners by acting as catalysts, linking entrepreneurs to an extensive network of resources and opportunities.

During the interview, Danielle shares how her own experiences led her to launch the organization and how their free programs, strategic partnerships and collaborations are providing resources that facilitate business development and growth, connect them to lucrative contract opportunities, and offer avenues for securing funding. Danielle shares a recent success story and talks about their nonprofit, Boomin University, where Black business owners can apply for scholarships and zero percent interest loans, in partnership with Kiva. She also talks about how the community can support their efforts and how Black business owners can access their programs nationally and in-person in Tennessee, in Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga.
