Black Business Month Courageous Comebacks Series: Thresette Briggs, Performance 3
Black-owned businesses were hit hard by COVID-19 and the ensuing economic fallout. But Black founders tapped into a well of resilience to forge a path forward. Some pivoted while others doubled down. The result is a renewed sense of purpose and a fresh perspective on building sustainable, marketable businesses.
In celebration of National Black Business Month, Jacqueline Hayes, the Founder & Chief Marketing Strategist of Crayons & Marketers, talks with some of the most remarkable Black-owned business founders about the impact of 2020 on their businesses and how they used innovation and timely marketing strategies to grow and sustain their companies.
