THE ENVIRONMENT
Since the coronavirus pandemic, Black business ownership has decreased by 41%, with research identifying the inability to digitize businesses for online consumer access as a key factor. The pandemic's impact extended beyond businesses, deeply affecting youth in school and the aging population of people of color. Many students faced barriers to remote learning due to limited access to technology and digital literacy resources, widening educational disparities. Similarly, the aging population struggled to adapt to digital platforms for essential services, healthcare, and social connection, exacerbating isolation and inequities in access to critical resources. These challenges highlight the urgent need for equitable access to digital tools and skills across all generations within communities of color.
