I struggled to find my voice this week after the death of George Floyd. I've re-edited an interview from 2018 with Gerald Jones that ties together the history of black businesses, racism, sexism, and what we need to do to change the future.

"Everything is intersectional. Learn more about building black business communities.

I can’t speak to what it is to be a woman. But in a lot of cases, I just kind of wing it, and I substitute misogyny for racism and I substitute woman for black. But I use the exact same words of a thing that happened to me. And the heads start nodding. It’s like, “That happens to me all the time.” And I’m like, “And what do you think?” “Freaking sexism.” I’m like, “Exactly. That’s also how racism works.” Power treats the disadvantaged in very similar ways. We just call it different things." - Gerald Jones, Coach 

Building Black Business Communities Episode Summary

Leader, coach, speaker, and training facilitator Gerald Jones, host of the Buy Black Podcast | The Voice of Black Business, shares how the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile lead to his podcast, creating economic resources for black business communities, and the importance of creating a broader community so we can all rise together. So many insights your head might just explode.
