Episode 58 Re-Release: Ideas for Equitable Small Business Recovery

12/4/20-- In light of recent data from Opportunity Insights which show 37% of small businesses in Massachusetts have closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are re-sharing Dr. Tracy Corley's conversation with Segun Idowu, executive director of the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts from May of this year. In early March, when coronavirus materialized as a real threat to the United States, the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts (BECMA) sent out a survey asking its roughly 300 members how the rumblings of a global pandemic affected their businesses. 90% of respondents reported experiencing “a somewhat to severe financial impact.” “We can only imagine that that number is at 100% now,” Segun Idowu, executive director of BECMA, told us in May.
