New Orleans is bursting with entrepreneurial efforts. Many are working hard to bring economic revival to one of America’s greatest cities. People love New Orleans for her food, music, culture, architecture, people and more. However, many who are vital in New Orleans being so cherished are often left out and cut off from human ecosystem that is benefiting most from the rapid urban renewal. For us, it’s not an “either or” but “a both and” so we are are dedicated to providing business training, support & affordable resources to underserved entrepreneurs, empowering them to create sustainable, successful business in New Orleans. Did you know that female-headed family households in which at least one person owned a microbusiness generate $8,000 to $13,000 more in annual household income than similar households without a business owner?
