Through Empower by GoDaddy, underserved social entrepreneurs of Baltimore are inspired to tell their unique stories and rise above the challenges to make a positive change. Brought to you by GoDaddy. Watch all episodes of Made in America: https://bit.ly/gdmadeinamerica

Baltimore entrepreneurs know firsthand that you have to make a choice early on: to either accept what life has to offer or do something to make a change. And when it comes to the true spirit of this city, no amount of hardship or others’ prejudice can dim its spark to make a brighter future for all — because there is so much good happening here despite any negative media out there. Instead of relying on big companies to provide job opportunities, Baltimore is investing in its people who pursue entrepreneurship that truly power its local economy. Empower by GoDaddy partners with Impact Hub Baltimore to help underserved small businesses unlock their magic to overcome historic redlining and cross the digital divide — which will help them survive, thrive, and remain relevant in today's economic shift. In addition to helping them gain access to digital platforms and getting educated on best practices to succeed, GoDaddy shows how leveraging these tools in social entrepreneurship can make an impact on both their business and the world around them — all while having the support they need to make it happen, together as Baltimoreans.

Stay tuned for episode 2 where we learn how entrepreneur Susan Clayton started a gear brand in Baltimore and what she’s doing to ensure her business runs on.

Redlining is a practice of denying home loans, and thus land ownership, in “high risk,” generally non-white, neighborhoods. This policy was federally enacted in the 1930s but was first legalized in Baltimore in 1911.
