WASHINGTON, DC, November 26, 2019 – GO Global is proud to announce the launch of Business & Stories, an event series that spotlights local entrepreneurs telling the story of how they built their business from the ground up. The kick-off series features Anika Hobbs of Nubian Hueman located in the historic Anacostia community of Washington DC and Baltimore Maryland. The event is scheduled to hold on December 19, 2019 and will feature a gathering of investors, media and local entrepreneurs. Participants will not only hear the powerful business stories but will also learn how to use storytelling to power their own businesses.

According to Gbenga Ogunjimi, Chief Storyteller at GO Global: “After working on the stories of several entrepreneurs in communities of color, I have realized storytelling is a widely untapped resource for business growth. The Business & Stories event series is a wonderful opportunity to show the world how these business and social entrepreneurs are changing the narrative of their community from struggle and scarcity to that of opportunity and wealth.”
