EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Black Businesses Matter, I speak with Cheryl Hudson-Jackson, who is the Director of Franchise and Business Enterprise for YWCA Chicago. She is also the owner of CHJ consulting. We discuss the impact that her work at the YWCA has had throughout her career and the importance of community building. Cheryl works with the BreedLove program. A program that aids women entrepreneurs in gaining funding for their businesses. The program also creates this sense of community amongst the women as they navigate “entrepreneur-hood”. She describes her role within the Y and how she helps the women within the breedlove programs stay on track to successes and connect them with other women that can support them.
Cheryl speaks to the importance of always bringing women to the table in order to help level the playing field, a philosophy that she has brought with her throughout her career. She began as a chemical engineer at IIT (Illinois Technical Institute) a field that notably lacks women and because of that experience she made it her business to create a space for women.
If you are interested in learning the importance of building community, this is the episode for you.
