[HHM 2020] Successful Latino Entrepreneurs: Challenges and Opportunities

 

 

Tuesday, October 6 2020 at 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Let's celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month from the business entrepreneurship point of view. "Latinos are 1.7 times more likely to start businesses." Perhaps helping in that growth, Latino college attainment rates nearly doubled in the last two decades. Businesses with majority Hispanic ownership are estimated to employ 2.7 million Americans and contribute over $700 million to the economy annually. Forbes.

Today, there are 4.65 million Hispanic-owned companies – representing 14% of the 33 million total U.S. businesses. And their growth continues to vastly outpace that of other U.S. businesses. In fact, Hispanic businesses grew 40.2% from 2012 to 2018 – more than twice the 18.8% growth rate of other U.S. firms. Today, about 1 out of every 7 businesses is run by a Hispanic American entrepreneur. Nexttv.com Claritas LLC.

By gathering successful Pittsburgh Latino (a) entrepreneurs on this panel, they will be able to share their experience, drive, spirit and what is needed to start and sustain a business in the U.S.

If you require an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at diversity@pitt.edu by October 1.

Pedro was forced to flee Nicaragua with his family in December 2018 during a crackdown on dissent. Rob was fired from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for drawing cartoons critical of President Trump.They will discuss their experiences and compare cartoons before taking audience questions.  Now more than ever, we need to connect as a community to lift up and support freedom of expression. Join us on Friday to hear from these risk-takers who use humor and art as their best weapon against oppression.     Rob Rogers is a nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist and a two time Pulitzer finalist. In June of 2018, after 25 years on staff at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rogers was fired for drawing cartoons critical of President Trump. In his most recent book, Enemy of the People: A Cartoonist's Journey, Rogers writes about the importance of satire in today's political climate. Rogers has curated national cartoon exhibitions at the Andy Warhol Museum, American University, and the ToonSeum in Pittsburgh, where he was board president from 2007 to 2017. He continues to draw for syndication and was named a 2019 Emerson Fellow by the Emerson Collective.   Register now for free       Pedro X.
