Derrick Richardson: Solidarity with Black Businesses & The Road Ahead

Derrick Richardson is the owner of the D-R Barber Salon. Unfortunately his shop was vandalized and due to the COVID-19 shut down, he had lost his insurance. I would HIGHLY encourage you to consider supporting his GoFundMe at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-d-r-barber-salon Derek and I wanted to share this conversation because conversations are so important. Our focus on this show is normally around innovation and entrepreneurship, and I have to admit there is still a lot that I don't understand and need to learn more. I've been encouraged to interview more minority owned business owners. Lastly, Derek wanted to shed some light on the importance of community, understanding, and why barber shops ARE an essential business.
