This Week on American Black Journal: 

Host Stephen Henderson sits down with Black Leaders Detroit Founder Dwan Dandridge to talk about how his organization is trying to level the economic playing field for Black-owned businesses and African American entrepreneurs through financial support. Dandridge shares some tips about how Black business owners can grow and sustain their companies in 2022.

Then, Stephen checks in with marketing consultant Mark S. Lee, president of The Lee Group, MI LLC, on where diversity, equity and inclusion are in the workplace. They explore the progress that’s been made and what’s still lacking nearly two years after the topic re-emerged into the mainstream, after George Floyd’s death.

Plus, the world-renowned Dance Theatre of Harlem‘s ballet dancers take a visit to the Motown Museum ahead of their premiere Detroit performance of “Higher Ground,” a ballet performed to the iconic music of Stevie Wonder.
