Entrepreneurship is the act of being an entrepreneur or “one who undertakes innovations, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods”. The pay off of entrepreneurship in black communities allows for more jobs, money spent in our communities and possibly a better future for our youth.
