Comcast RISE is offering Help to Black Business Owners & People of Color 👇🏾 www.comcastrise.com/apply   As always, Black Convergence is committed to using our platform to celebrate, invest in and highlight Black businesses and brands. We uplift and elevate each other so that we can rise together.  Last year was very difficult hearing the reports from our fellow Black entrepreneurs about being left out of the Paycheck Protection Program, and even more difficult watching hundreds of Black-owned businesses - who were already more exposed due to centuries of inequality and inequity - close their doors for good. But today, we are excited to share that Comcast has launched a multi-year, multi-faceted initiative designed to help strengthen small businesses owned by Black people & people of color, who were hardest hit by the pandemic.   Comcast RISE stands for “Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment”, and brings together two of the company’s brands — Comcast Business and Effectv, both with expertise in the small business space — to help empower business owners with the tools, expertise and resources needed to navigate the economic effects of the pandemic.   Qualifying businesses can apply to receive consulting in marketing, media, and creative production services from Effectv - the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, or technology services from Comcast Business.   Visit WWW.COMCASTRISE.COM/APPLY to learn more   And if you do not qualify or you do not need this help, please share with Black business owners in your network that you believe this offer could help.   #togetherwerise    #blackbusinessowner #smallbusinessowners #blackbusinessowners #blackownedbusiness #blackownedbusinesses #blackownedbrand #blackownedbrands #smallbizsaturday #smallbusinesssaturday #blackownedrestaurants #blackownedconsultingfirms #blackownedconsultingbusinesses #blackownedclothingstores #blackownedfashionbrand #blackownedfashionbrands #blackownedclothingbrands #blackmadeproducts #blackdesigners #blackartists #blackcreators #comcastrise #comcastrisecommitment #blackempowerment #blackbusinesshelp #helpforblackbusinesses #effectvmarketing #comcastriseapply https://www.instagram.com/p/CQhsJftnmb1/?utm_medium=tumblr
