Sheena Wright, president and CEO of United Way of New York City, has created an initiative called Together We Thrive to help Black-owned businesses strive to accomplish their goals.

“No, yeah, it definitely was a response to the pandemic. You know, they say ‘necessity is the mother of invention,’” says Wright.

United Way of New York City is a non-profit organization that strives to improve the lives of every individual. They provide resources and ensure that every individual lives a comfortable life, especially low-income New Yorkers.
