Our next episode is part of our bi-monthly podcast between the WOCstar Fund and the NYC Department of Small Business Services’ WE NYC Initiative featuring the stories of women entrepreneurs in the NYC community! As WE NYC celebrates their 5th anniversary this month, we will wrap our series with a very special guest and one of our personal heroes, NYC SBS Commissioner Jonnel Doris. As Commissioner of the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS), Jonnel Doris is charged with running a dynamic City agency focused on equity of opportunity, that leads to economic self-sufficiency and mobility for New York City's diverse communities. SBS actively connects New Yorkers to good jobs, creates stronger businesses, and builds a thriving economy in neighborhoods across the five boroughs. We sat down with the Commissioner to chat about the impact of small business owners and the  power of community and collaboration. Doris explains the many ways in which SBS is helping entrepreneurs through amazing initiatives like WE NYC and BE NYC  and how he is committed to raising up our strong and diverse entrepreneurs. To quote the Commissioner, “small businesses are brilliant and resilient and we will get through this!” Entrepreneurs, allies - you won’t want to miss this one!
