Description

There are more Black-owned businesses in America than ever before. Finding them, supporting them, and building one is a different conversation entirely.

The Kickback With Keri is a podcast hosted by Keri Henderson, a small business consultant and community builder with 15 years of experience in procurement, small business content marketing, and consulting. Keri built this platform because she believes Black-owned businesses deserve more than a moment of visibility. They deserve a community that shows up for them.

In each episode, Keri kicks back with Black entrepreneurs, founders, and small business owners to get into small business strategy, business insights, and what it actually takes to grow a Black-owned business - finding customers, overcoming barriers, closing the racial wealth gap, and building generational wealth in Black communities.

We’ll tackle questions like:

  • How do I find Black-owned businesses to support?

  • What grants are available for Black small business owners?

  • How do Black entrepreneurs get funding without investors?

  • How to start a business with no money as a Black entrepreneur?

  • How to build generational wealth in the Black community?

  • What are the best Black-owned beauty brands?

  • How to grow a small Black-owned business on a limited budget?

  • Where can I find Black-owned brands to shop online?

Whether you're shopping Black-owned brands or building one of your own, the show spotlights businesses across beauty, food, fashion, and lifestyle.

If you are building a Black-owned business, trying to figure out how to fund or grow it, or looking for Black-owned brands to add to your life, this show is for you. Follow The Kickback With Keri wherever you listen.
