The VIB Network is excited to invite you to a FREE WEBINAR hosted by AARP, featuring Daymond John, Star of Shark Tank, Founder & CEO of FUBU, and AARP Brand Ambassador.

Undeniably, COVID-19 has eclipsed our economy.  Nearly half of the nation’s 30 million small businesses have been gravely impacted, with over 21 million Americans unemployed in May. Particularly the economic shutdown has hurt black enterprise. The U.S. Black Chambers of Commerce cited a recent National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) study that detailed the closure of 41% of black-owned businesses since the pandemic. In the midst of all of this, how do we survive?

In this webinar you’ll learn:

• What’s next for small businesses
• The importance of redefining, reexamining and reimagining your business
• The benefits of launching a business during a downturn

This webinar will be recorded and available to those who register for the event.
