I am a co-owner of a comprehensive event design and party rental company based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It gives me immense pride to be a part of a business that is entirely black-owned and operated, alongside my husband. We have made significant progress in managing our company and are dedicated to further expanding our presence in the region.However, we have encountered challenges in pursuing our growth objectives, particularly in accessing crucial information such as grants, funding, and resources that would bolster our upward trajectory. Consequently, I have conducted thorough research within the midstate area and identified a notable scarcity of easily accessible resources specifically tailored for black-owned businesses like ours. This realization has shed light on the grave disparity that exists within our community.As individuals from the African Diaspora, residing in the United States presents inherent challenges, let alone running a thriving business. This experience has reinforced our belief in the importance of facilitating access to services for businesses and individuals of African descent within the Diaspora. We remain resolute in our commitment to seeking out these resources and services to support the growth and success not only of our own company but also of others in a similar position.
