What does it take to start a packaged food or natural product business as a person of color?

Food and beauty are so personal and often are built on relationships and face-to-face interactions to tell a story and bring authenticity to the product. In this honest discussion, our panelists will attempt to answer why there aren't more entrepreneurs of color packaging in Colorado and how to make this space more inclusive.

Our three panelists, Betty Artes of Casa Alvarez Foods, Pamela Richard of Miss Peabody’s, and Orion Brown of The Black Travel Box will share their stories and learnings, as well as take questions, posed ahead of time, from early-stage or “just an idea” entrepreneurs.
