Black-owned enterprises were instrumental during the Great Migration, with African Americans pursuing business prospects from Southern states to urban centers such as Detroit. My forthcoming book, “Freedom Enterprise,” delves into this complex narrative, uncovering the obstacles these entrepreneurs overcame while making substantial contributions to Detroit's dynamic economic environment. Their resilience not only shaped individual lives but also transformed the city's commercial fabric, embodying a spirit of innovation and perseverance. As I recount these stories, readers will gain insight into the profound impact of these ventures on the community and the economy. Make sure to mark your calendars for its release on April 8, 2025, and prepare to explore an essential chapter of American history through the lens of entrepreneurship and tenacity. This account promises to shed light on the vital role of black businesses in redefining a city’s identity and prosperity.
