July Issue
The month of July is recognized for Independence Day. MMSDC recognizes that true Independence takes on many forms, including Economic Independence. This issue is dedicated to the minority businesses that strive to achieve Economic Independence by challenging the 333 Years to Parity narrative - and to the Corporations committed to empowering them to do so!
READ THE JULY ISSUE
Minority-owned businesses continue to drive disproportionate unit growth in the US. Yet, the economic growth rate is slow. MMSDC recently commissioned research to determine how long it might take to close the gap for the benefit of all communities. The results should call anyone committed to inclusion to action.
