On today's episode, we speak on shedding light on local contracting (DBE) and why it is essential for empowering local civic engagement. We will connect this conversation to Mayor Maynard Jackson of Atlanta and the explosion of minority/underrepresented wealth.
We cover questions like:
- How did you get into community engagement?
- What role does local government have in wealth creation? (Historically and now)
- What are the unknowns about municipal/local contracting?
- How can we make municipal contracting make sense to the average person?
- Why current approaches to tackling the inequity in government contracting aren't working (and how it actually leads to more inequity and predatory behavior).
