What Up Doe?! We wrap up our Black Business Month series at The Lip Bar Detroit with Part 3, spotlighting three trailblazing Detroit creatives and strategists:

Gail Perry-Mason – Founder of Money Matters for Youth, bestselling author, and financial literacy champion who empowers Detroit youth through summer investment camps and programs that teach economics as community power.

Dr. Germaine Pentsil – Founder of G. Pentsil Consulting, serving non-traditional entrepreneurs in Detroit with business consulting, HR guidance, and organizational development.

• Consulting with conscience – Dr. Germaine Pentsil’s journey to guiding the “non-traditional entrepreneur” through strategy, structure, and support.
