DETROIT, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, March 2, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Larry Brinker Jr., CEO of Brinker, joined the DBusiness Magazine Breakfast Series alongside other leading experts in Michigan’s business and startup sectors to discuss expanding opportunities to launch and grow minority-owned businesses.

The discussion included insight from Dr. Kenneth L. Harris, President & CEO of (THE) National Business League, Racheal Allen, Founder & CEO of Operations School: OPSIDIA, Ron E. Hall, President & CEO of Bridgewater, and Lawrence Garcia, attorney & counselor, Corporation Counsel to the City of Detroit. The event was designed for those in the Detroit community who are curious about how to start, operate, and expand a minority-led business, and it included information on financial loans and incentive opportunities.

“It was an honor to join this group of panelists,” said Larry Brinker Jr. “Thank you DBusiness Magazine, R.J. King, and Ken L. Harris, Ph.D. for providing an opportunity to speak unapologetically about our experiences in scaling our respective minority-owned businesses.”

The participants acknowledged that they, and others, need to have transparent conversations about Black entrepreneurs and Black-founded businesses and encourage direct action and reduction of barriers. This includes taking action and providing resources, funding, and training to members of the community, whether they’re active or aspiring entrepreneurs, and not just encouraging discussions.
