The workshop is called 'WE DON'T NEED PERMISSION - BLACK BUSINESS WORKSHOP' How to start your own business.
We Don't Need Permission workshop is based on Eric Collins's book 'WE DON'T NEED PERMISSION, HOW BLACK BUSINESS CAN CHANGE OUR WORLD' Eric D. Collins is an American businessman, serial entrepreneur, technology expert, former President Obama appointee. He is the CEO and co-founder of Impact X Capital Partners. In 2021 Collins was the host of Channel 4 business reality show The Money Maker. He has served on President Obama's Small Business Administration’s Council on Underserved Communities.
Eric Collins has ran two previous business workshops in Reading
The aim of the workshop is to help people from the black community and students who are 'serious' about starting their own business, receive advice and practical tools on how to make their business idea a reality. The workshop also intends to show black business owners how to grow their business and attract investors.
The workshop will consist of a panel of local black business owners, industry professionals and academics. We really want this to be an interactive workshop and not a lecture.
