9:03Now PlayingA New York-based comedian whose job is to make people laugh is now making it his job to help Black people get rich.
A record number of new businesses were formed since the start of the pandemic but 50% of Black-owned businesses went under. Comedian Jon Laster created a game-changing app called the BLAPP app. This app helps users find and support Black businesses in their neighborhood or online and has been described as having a Black-owned shopping mall in the palm of your hand.
