Monique Marshall grew up in the small Georgia town of Ocilla. She had zero representation of what it was to be a Black entrepreneur. Attending Howard University she saw the power of collaboration unfold for the first time and it struck a chord Especially when she later saw peers stalling out when they tried to start businesses, not because of lack of dreams, but from the uncertainty of what steps to take to make their dreams a reality. So she started Black To Business, with a mission to support first-time Black entrepreneurs by helping them navigate the world of business and simplify the startup journey for early-stage and first-generation Black entrepreneurs. Her ability to pay it forward and build community is inspirational! Enjoy this episode.
