#Next20: Reimagining small businesses during the global pandemic

Small businesses represent the heartbeat of communities.

However, the continued impact of COVID-19 has created a parallel crisis to what we are fighting across our healthcare system. While we will restore the well-being of the world, the aftershocks of this pandemic will be felt by small business owners for years to come.

Despite a grim outlook, many owners have used the crisis to pivot their business models. This newfound resilience has kept them treading water and, in some cases, reaching an entirely new customer base.

In this episode of Verizon’s #Next20, Sibile Marcellus from Yahoo Finance hosts a two-part panel on how small businesses can rise up and rebuild with visionaries Kezia Williams, CEO of the Black upStart, and Elizabeth Gore, co-founder of Hello Alice, as well as small business owners Lyndsey Brantley, CEO of Camellia Elise, and Michelle Swittenberg, co-founder of BRWL Studio.
