ā€œWe cannot wait for the next relief packageā€”the time to save our people is now. It’s time for federal relief that sounds the alarm and prioritizes those most in danger. There was a pandemic of poverty before the coronavirus. It’s time to fund a cure for both. ā€ ā€”Ā Newsweek

In her 2018 book from Penguin Random House,Ā Leapfrog: The New Revolution for Women Entrepreneurs, Nathalie Molina NiƱo provides guidance to ā€œentrepreneurs of all stripes who are fed up with status quo advice ā€” the kind that assumes you have rich friends and family and a public relations team.ā€ Further, in a recentĀ Boston GlobeĀ opinion piece, Molina NiƱo and her co-author reveal that ā€œPeople of color, particularly from black- and brown-majority communities, have accounted for significantly higher COVID-19 related deaths; the survival rates of their businesses are positioned to follow a similar trajectory.ā€

In this live virtual fireside chat, Impact Entrepreneurā€™s Laurie Lane-Zucker welcomes Nathalie Molina NiƱo to discuss the realities facing entrepreneurs of color and strategies for addressing racial and gender inequities in a post-coronavirus economy.
