Summary

We have been fortunate to have such amazing guests on the show, which makes it all the more exciting when we get to have them return! Today, I’m rejoined by my dear friend, Dr. LaKeysha Hallmon, founder of The Village Market, to discuss some of the themes of her new book, No One Is Self-Made.

From community care in entrepreneurship to the response and responsibility of small business owners in the wake of corporations repealing DEI, we get into the idea of building out by first building within.
