What’s at Stake for Internet Businesses, Minority Start-Ups and the Economy?
(Huffington Post) — Three years ago, when it was clear that my job at an Internet startup wasn’t going to lead to the type of career opportunities I once thought, I decided to go into business for myself. While I didn’t have a lot of examples of black women Internet entrepreneurs to model my career after, I knew creating my own company would enable me to do the work I love, on my terms, and create real value for my family, my community and myself. The opportunities that I’ve been able to take advantage of have come about because I learned how to access and leverage the dynamic potential of the Internet.
