Nancy Korsah is the founder, president, and CEO of Black Business Enterprises, an international nonprofit with over 3 million total members in every U.S. state and 32 countries that seeks to achieve greater societal equity by accelerating Black entrepreneurship. The African American students who defended her and her brother against racist attacks at their high school motivated her to dedicate her life to helping Black people come together. BBE was formed after she learned that people of color earn $10-12 less per hour at the bank call center where she worked. BBE’s mission is to give minority entrepreneurs access to capital and other critical resources they often lack -including financial literacy, business planning, technology, marketing, and mentorship- so they can start, grow and sustain successful businesses.
