RSVP - Coffee and Convo - Women of Color Business Owners (Pine Bluff)

Thank you for your interest in the upcoming Coffee and Convo focus group with Women of Color Business Owners in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. 

The purpose of the focus group is to gather more information about the lived experiences of women of color business owners who own or have incorporated businesses in the Delta region of Arkansas. 

We hope to identify barriers to entry that exist for women of color and we’d like to learn more about the organizations that supported you along the way. The final report will be shared with stakeholders in an effort to improve advocacy, support, awareness and philanthropic investments to businesswomen of color.

To be an active participant in the focus group and to qualify for the gift card drawing, you must identify as a woman of color and own 50% or more of your business (business must be headquartered in the Delta region of Arkansas). Participants will be required to use pen and paper to record answers to questions and may also be required to use a mobile device or cell phone that can access the internet. 

Please note, women of color refers to women of racial-ethnic minority groups (African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asians and Pacific Islanders, Latinos and Hispanics).

Space is limited, so please use this form to save your spot for the focus group in Pine Bluff.
