Helping minority-owned businesses succeed

Ever since she can remember, Diamond Johnson wanted to open up her own business in Milwaukee.

“We wanted a space in the inner city,” said Johnson. “We wanted somewhere that was convenient and nice, close to downtown not too far out.”

But her journey toward making that dream a reality wasn’t an easy one.

“When we started off, we didn’t have any help. I had no resources.”

It wasn’t until she got a call from a close friend who told her about an organization that was offering an opportunity of a lifetime to local entrepreneurs.

“Travis came through right on time and was like hey there’s this program they’ll have officials I can assist you and if they can’t help you they can send you somewhere that can help you,” said Johnson.
