Honoring Black History Series: This month as a part of our commitment to honor black history, Access team members will be sharing about businesses, books, literature, stories, podcasts, films, songs, or pieces of art created by black authors, leaders, entrepreneurs, and artists that have impacted us.

While living in Chicago and struggling with my business I was introduced to a group “Black in Technology.” After attending a meeting, I was introduced to the podcast Trailblazers. Listening to the first few episodes, it in small part gave me reasons to make changes and not stay with the status quo. The podcast was in small part a reason I moved back to Grand Rapids to focus on personal development. Very motivation and rewarding!

To listen to the podcast, visit Trailblazers Website! On the website, Stephen A. Hart writes, “I’m the host of Trailblazers.FM, the #1 interview style podcast, exploring stories of today’s successful black professionals, entrepreneurs and leaders.
