Ask an Expert: What’s Your Story? Authentically Scaling Your Business
Celebrating Juneteenth and Pride Month
Brooklyn Public Library’s Business & Career Center is honoring Juneteenth and Pride Month by partnering with Start Small Think Big (SSTB) to host an exciting SSTB in-person Ask an Expert event! Ask an Expert spotlights entrepreneurs via a panel discussion and gives folks the opportunity to network with each other! We will live-stream the discussion of the entrepreneurs sharing their stories and how starting their business helped them create their own definition of freedom.
Meet the Panelists!
