Resources
At LatinaMeetup we’ve always used our platform to celebrate, invest in and highlight Latina businesses and brands. We uplift and elevate each other so that we can rise together. Which is why last year was particularly hard: hard hearing the reports from our fellow Latinx entrepreneurs about being left out of the Paycheck Protection Program, and hard watching thousands of small, Latinx-owned businesses, who were already more exposed due to centuries of inequity, close their doors for good. But today, we are excited to share that Comcast has launched a multi-year, multi-faceted initiative designed to help strengthen small businesses owned by people of color, who were hit hardest by the pandemic. Going beyond funding and one-time donations, Comcast RISE is helping these business owners take stock, rebuild, and achieve their goals now, and in the future.
