@SmlBizMajority A7: @TheMujerista is a digital-media publication/network making huge strides in Latina representation, challenging limiting stereotypes, empowering nextgen & celebrating all creating cultural impact! https://t.co/2boXx4mK8h #HispanicBizChat
@SmlBizMajority A6: Policymakers should invest in opportunities that support the Latino/x business community, such as additional resources to ensure tools & capital are more accessible & equitable in addition to supporting nonprofit organizations that are on the ground. #HispanicBizChat
@SmlBizMajority A5: Venture capital is a key driver of business growth and scalability, yet Hispanic business owners, especially Latinas, have historically been unable to access these funding opportunities at the same rate as other entrepreneur groups. #HispanicBizChat
@SmlBizMajority A4: Business ownership empowers our community to forge our own paths towards opportunity and create generational wealth, so that our families not only survive but thrive. #HispanicBizChat
@SmlBizMajority A3: SLB was founded to promote initiatives & resources for Latino/x entrepreneurs across the US, offering a FREE business directory, grants, & hosts SLB Day, a community day of action celebrating the impact of Latino/x businesses. #HispanicBizChat https://t.co/0nUq8SBU9k
@SmlBizMajority A2: They should also take a hard look at recruiting practices. Do you have talent that represents today’s reality in terms of diversity? If not, then the recruiting and promotion process should evolve. #HispanicBizChat
@SmlBizMajority A2: Businesses can also start with listening to diverse employees. What are their wants and needs? Can you address them with tangible actions? #HispanicBizChat
@SmlBizMajority A1: Hispanic entrepreneurs are a leading economic force – comprising the fastest growing segment of U.S. small businesses and contributing $2.8 trillion in economic output last year. #HispanicBizChat https://t.co/8RDK62oEAD
