Entrepreneur in Residence Scott Shigeoka chats with Atlanta entrepreneurs about chasing the American Dream and staying afloat during COVID-19. Brought to you by GoDaddy.
As Yolanda Ownens and the Robinson family work tirelessly to chase their dreams in the midst of unexpected challenges, their unstoppable resilience teaches us that no barrier can tame the heart of an entrepreneur. MOKIPOPS and iwi fresh, two Black-owned businesses in Atlanta, step over the gaps of racial disparities, financial barriers and a global crisis to continue their drive towards long-term success. These small business owners are a beacon of hope, rising about the ashes of a pandemic and inspiring future generations to believe anything is possible.
