How to thrive as a business in Minnesota

MPR News with Angela Davis

Join us for a discussion hosted by our colleagues at Sahan Journal — a nonprofit dedicated to reporting for immigrants and communities of color in Minnesota — about how to thrive as a business in Minnesota.

Mukhtar Ibrahim, the founding publisher and CEO of Sahan Journal, talks with a panel of Black, immigrant entrepreneurs in tech, farming, fashion, food and wellness — including the man who started the first Jamaican restaurant in the U.S. that catered to the unique palates of Minnesotans.

How did they get their businesses started and what did they learn about how to thrive as a business in Minnesota? Tune in for the conversation.

Guests:

• Beatrice Adenodi, interim director of economic and community development at the African Career Education and Resource, Inc.




• David Manly, founder and CEO of the tech startup Juduh.




• Modoh Wanda, CEO of African Fashion Week Minnesota.




• Dr. Stephen Menya, chiropractor and co-owner of Lions Gym and Wellness Center.




• Tomme Beevas, founder and chief strategic officer of Pimento Jamaican Kitchen.
