Sean Hollins knows all too well the challenges of being a Black business owner - the search for funding, the wealth disparities, the lack of access to materials at a fair market rate.
"Some of those challenges are still in front of me, but funding was the biggest," he said.
Hollins is grateful for Northern Initiatives' support, and appreciates the big picture. "What owning a business is going to help do is close that wealth gap," he said. "Instead of sitting at the table eating someone else's meal, I'm able to prepare the meal."
