FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) – The Genesee County Black Business Expo was held at Berston Field House in Flint on Friday. The event saw the active participation of vendors from various sectors, including healthcare and wellness organizations, catering and food prep, clothing designers, business educators, and coaches. These vendors were given the opportunity to attend free financial education workshops.
Turning Passions into Profits
“So we have business consultants that are talking about making and turning your passions into profits,” says Chennelle Dismond, chair of the event. “It’s so important to understand how I can make money with my hobby with the things I know how to do. I’m not quite sure we’ll bring your dreams down, and we’re gonna put gas in the tank of the dream with some information and help you to move it forward.”
Learning Opportunities for Vendors
During the workshops, vendors had the chance to learn valuable insights on starting up and growing their businesses. They also gained knowledge about finding resources for credit and capital, along with understanding the importance of creating a comprehensive business plan.
