And third, this is key.

...And I’m your co-pilot, Hebrew Dixon. And today we’re asking a simple but loaded question: what does July 4th really mean — and who’s included in that celebration?

Today, we’re digging into the grind. Not just the hustle—but the Generation Grind. What young Black entrepreneurs really need to succeed in this economy.
