6:01Now PlayingBlack women are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in America, but the lack of access to capital creates barriers to success. Aisha Taylor Issah is the founder and CEO of the Sistahs in Business Expo (SIB Expo). She embarked on a journey to fill the gap between women of color business owners and success.
BNC digital reporter Alyssa Wilson speaks with Issah about the exposition and its goals. As businesses owned by Black women continue to increase, the group was also most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Issah realized the virus affected Black women's businesses and their personal, emotional and financial well-being, so she opened a brick-and-mortar location to help women impacted. The SIB Expo's multi-city exposition is back for 2021 and heading to Philadelphia, the DMV, Atlanta and Newark, NJ, in the coming months.
