This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities.  These are the new leaders in American business.”

“We’re honored to have won two prestigious awards focused on diversity-owned companies,” says Leila Johnson, co-owner of Data-Scribe®. She and her business partner and husband, Brett Johnson, are celebrating their sixth year in business.
