Storytelling Panel: Detroit's Immigrant Entrepreneurs
Details
Starters,
Join us at Bamboo Detroit for a discussion that needs to be had. We will hear stories from first-generation immigrants about how they have built their business in Detroit and lived out their American Dream. We will learn about the unique challenges of immigrants that American-born citizens take for granted.
We will brainstorm together what we can do to support our immigrant small business and entrepreneur communities, especially now when the future is far more uncertain than ever. More than anything, we are convening to shift the narrative, our narrative, for the future of our city.
