Three years ago we began a mission to accelerate the connections between Black business owners and professionals in the Pikes Peak region. The second part of the mission is to create pathways for this Black excellence to be integrated into the rest of the Pikes Peak region.Â
The network has been wonderfully successful since the start, and I believe this is because there was a silent hunger for these connections. It only took a spark and a little gas to turn this into an economic and cultural movement for the Black business community. Together, we have a very strong small business network, and the tighter we can make our connections, the stronger we become.Â
