In this Podcasts from the Printerverse episode, I speak with Keeana Barber, CEO of WDB Marketing, the first African American owned full-service printing business in the South Suburbs of Chicago. Keeana shares her hard-fought entrepreneurial successes and how she works to make that path a little smoother for our future leaders.
Keeana discusses why she started her business, how she grew it, and how she has been actively empowering her community for years, from the celebration and facilitation of black entrepreneurship through her annual L.E.G.A.C.Y Awards to the creation of "Black Owned Business’" signage during recent protests.
We also discuss how the industry can better serve black-owned print businesses and get involved at the community level to help develop print workers.
Push play and let’s get started!
Listen Long and Prosper!
