From the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Operation HOPE, John Hope Bryant.
Jabari Young of Forbes sat down with me during National Black Business Month to talk about 1 Million Black Businesses, the initiative we launched with Shopify to help create one million Black-owned businesses by 2030.
We are ahead of schedule: more than 330,000 businesses since 2020, with free business licenses, domain names, payment systems and coaching to get people started. My advice to every one of them is the same. Be bold, and don’t be afraid to ask for what you want.
