August is National Black Business Month. For this installment, I, along with a fantastic group of panelists, will discuss Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the benefits of being certified as a business owner. Joining me is Kathy Boswell, Executive VP of Community and Volunteer Engagement for the World Games; Victor Brown, Partner of the Birmingham Business Alliance; and Darren Hubbard, Vice President of Centerplate. Having this conversation with business leaders in the Birmingham area is significant and essential to moving entrepreneurship in the city forward.
