It’s February! It’s all about love and the Annual Celebration of Black History Month. I love how the two go hand in hand. This is an extra special podcast because Tara Palacios is filling in this month to host and in addition we are collaborating this month with our partners with the National Landing BID.
Black History Month is a vital time to honor the achievements, resilience, and contributions of Black entrepreneurs who have shaped industries and paved the way for future generations.
From trailblazers like Madam C.J. Walker to today’s innovators in tech, finance, and beyond, their stories serve as powerful lessons in perseverance, creativity, and economic empowerment.
As we celebrate Black excellence in entrepreneurship, we also recognize the ongoing challenges and the need for equitable opportunities. Join us as we highlight inspiring Black business leaders, share their journeys, and explore how we can foster a more inclusive and thriving entrepreneurial landscape.
Hosting today is Tara Palacios, Director of BizLaunch at Arlington Economic Development in Arlington Virginia. Economic Development agencies throughout the US aim to build sustainable businesses and the role businesses play are vital to the health of our communities. We wholeheartedly support small business through BizLaunch and value the importance of placemaking as a sector devoted to creative economy and the arts.
On today’s show we are going to discuss black entrepreneurship and what it takes to innovate and create using food as a canvas….
To discuss this topic is the renowned Chef Rock Harper of Queen Mother’s Kitchen located in National Landing in Arlington.
