Building an ecosystem for Black and Brown entrepreneurs with Kelly Burton

As co-convener of the Black Innovation Alliance, Kelly Burton is working to bring together small business owners and startup founders to help Black and Brown entrepreneurs level up – and change the narrative. Launched last year, the coalition of 50 organizations in two dozen U.S. cities include Aniyia Williams of Black & Brown Founders, Daniel Wright of 1863 Ventures, Luis Martinez of We Tha Plug and Jessica Norwood of Runway. The collective's ten-year goal is to recruit at least 500 organizations to support, fund, and sustain one million Black innovators.
