Synopsis

Since 2007 the number of firms owned by African American women has increased by 164%, however, the access to capital for women of color is challenging with only a small fraction of the 2% of Venture Capital funds going to black and brown business owners. In this episode, I interview Parker McMullen Bushman and Crystal Egli, co-founders of Inclusive Journeys, to talk about their experience as entrepreneurial women of color, their idea for a modern, digital green book, and the challenges they have faced funding their firm due to racial and gender bias. After listening to this episode, you will be inspired and realize that nothing is going to stop these two from changing the world.    Did you know that one in three 65-year-olds live into their 90’s, but few can afford it?
