Uplifting Black Businesses: Spotlighting Innovative Community Changemakers

By: Authority Press Wire

Atlanta, GA – As the nation celebrates Black Business Month, The BPF Group is proud to launch a timely and impactful interview series that shines a spotlight on the Black businesses and leaders making a difference in their communities.

Titled “Uplifting Black Businesses: Spotlighting Innovative Community Changemakers,” this series delves into the vital work being done to support the Black community as many are bouncing back. With the lingering impacts of COVID-19, rising mental health concerns, and the ongoing struggle for financial recovery, the Black community has faced immense adversity in recent years.

“Many in the Black community are still not ‘Good,'” said Lisa C. Williams, Chief Good Officer (CGO) of The BPF Group. “As a social impact firm, we recognize the urgent need to amplify the voices of those on the ground, working tirelessly to uplift and empower their fellow Black citizens.”

The outsized impact of COVID-19 on the African American community has been well-documented. Experts say it will take longer for Black communities to recover from the pandemic’s public health and economic impact.

Through in-depth interviews, the series will feature organizations and individuals who are making a tangible difference. These trailblazers are dedicated to helping Black people thrive, whether through innovative programs, impactful initiatives, or unwavering community support.

“Black businesses are the backbone of our communities, and the work they do is vital for Black people to move forward,” continued Williams. “This interview series is our way of celebrating their impact and bringing exposure to their businesses.”

As the nation celebrates Black Business Month, The BPF Group is proud to launch a timely and impactful interview series that shines a spotlight on the Black businesses and leaders making a difference in their communities. The outsized impact of the pandemic on the African American community has been well-documented, with experts warning that it will take longer for Black communities to recover. Black students are also falling behind their peers, and suicide has moved to the second leading cause of death in the Black community. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to amplify the voices of those on the ground, working tirelessly to uplift and empower the Black community.

The interviews will be published on the Business Innovators Radio Network, a high authority on demand radio show. BIRN showcases the stories and insights of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and industry disruptors. Interviews with guests can also be found on iTunes, blogtalk radio, Stitcher, iHeart, Spreaker, and in the WCKG on-demand library.
