BPR September 2023 Newsletter – Financial Resilience, Hispanic Heritage Month
As we wrap up a busy summer with various discussions on financial literacy and resilience, I’m reminded how it all began decades ago – when there simply was not enough. Like most of us, including the fastest growing share of entrepreneurs - the 4.6M Hispanic and Latino-owned businesses in the US, I learned how to make a dollar out of fifty cents. I have been fortunate enough, thanks to lack - to become creative, relentless, and especially resourceful, because the boat of life will move forward whether we are onboard or not. We dedicate the below spotlight and resources to Hispanic Heritage Month and the power resilience holds for business owners everywhere.
We are here to support you, always in all ways - Jessica and the BPR team.
