Today more than 48 million Americans self-identify as black per Pew research. Representing 14.4% of the US population. As reported in TechCrunch, if funding share was in line with population, one would expect companies with a black founder or co-founder to attract more than 14.4% of all funding, given that startups commonly have more than one founder. Darren Dodson, founding partner and managing director at Lumen Capital, a venture fund operating on the basis that bias hinders optimal financial performance, says there's a lot of work to do on addressing issues of bias. The proportionately low funding totals demonstrate that investors appear to be passing on promising entrepreneurs due specifically to racial bias, and demographics support this.

Black-owned businesses often face additional barriers to getting off the ground - a historic wealth gap and lack of access to resources, to name a few. The African American Chamber of Commerce advocates for Black business owners in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Host Racquel Williams talks with their President & CEO, Regina A. Hairston, and a member of the chamber, Jason Ray, President & Chief Investment Officer at Zenith Wealth Partners, about what Black-owned businesses need from the city of Philadelphia and from each other. Then, on Shara in the City, Black Dragon Takeout in West Philly has been getting a ton of buzz for its fusion of soul food with the aesthetics of Chinese takeout. Shara Dae Howard stops by to hear how this idea formed, and to decide if their wings live up to the hype.

A Mississippi native who moved to South Bend in 1944 speaks about Black businesses on the west side.    Elmer Joseph came to South Bend from a resort community in Mississippi. His family was financially well off, yet still deeply impacted by Jim Crow segregation. He attended an all-Black school—and experienced a huge culture shock when he moved to South Bend to attend Central High.    Elmer remembers some of the many west side Black businesses around Linden Avenue.* He even opened up a business of his own, running a tavern on Chapin and Western.    In 2003, Civil Rights Heritage Center historian David Healey sat down with Mr. Joseph. They talked about his experiences growing up on the west side, and what life was like for a Black business owner here in the mid-twentieth century.    * Quick note: During the recording, the host says Linden Street instead of Avenue. He must have had the last episode with Odie Mae Streets on the brain and got his wires crossed. This episode was produced by Jon Watson from the Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts at IU South Bend, and by George Garner from the Civil Rights Heritage Center.    Full transcript of this episode available here.   Want to learn more about South Bend's history?

In this week's Black World News, Kehinde Andrews discusses the MET police's nonsense claim that the use of the political term "coconut" is a hate crime following a MET tweet (since removed) in the form of a protest poster of Rishi "Rish" Sunak and Cruella Vader-man. He argues that terms of political critique like "coconut" and "coon," which point out agents of White Supremacy especially if they are Black and Brown aren't racist terms and slurs. We must continue to defend our history, language, political critique, and ultimately our Black political thought.   - Check out the MIP YouTube Channel - In this week's guest interview, Kehinde Andrews talks with Dr Kadian Pow about her part-autobiographical book "Stories of Black Female Identity in the Making: Queering the Love in Blackness." It looks at how different aspects of love have shaped Kadian's Black feminine identity, from family lessons to romantic love to love of Blackness and community. Using anecdata from early life to her 30s, tracing themes of feminism. They also discuss her teaching Black Studies, her Black-owned business, respectability politics, and her transition from being a former born-again Christian.  Her new book also part-inspired a mini summit event next Saturday, November 25th at Birmingham City University (BCU Curzon Building, B4 7BD) called "Black Women & Undoing Sexual Shame" (18+), organized by Black Ballad, event tickets are available here (For support: if you're a BCU student email Kadian.Pow@bcu.ac.uk and if you need help email support@blackballad.co.uk). - Kadian is currently a lecturer in Sociology and Black Studies at Birmingham City University (BCU), where she teaches courses in both Sociology and Black Studies with Kehinde Andrews (and his former PhD student). Her interest includes Black feminism, intersectionality, TV and social media, the sociology of Black natural hair, sexuality, and queer studies.
