WHAT: The QuickBooks Roundtable: Health and Wellness for
Small Businesses will focus on the importance of health and
wellness for small businesses, particularly Black-owned businesses.
The conversation is to help attendees understand how the concept of
a “healthy business” extends beyond dollars and cents to overall
well-being.
Related to the theme selected by the Association for the Study
of African American Life and History, this panel conversation will
explain the origins of “self-care” within Black activist
communities, explore why prioritizing one’s health while running a
small business is crucial, and the unique challenges experienced by
Black business owners in trying to prioritize wellness.
Attendees will gain practical advice based on QuickBooks recent
surveying of Black business owners. The rich data analysis provides
insights on the mental, physical, social and financial well-being
of Black small business owners in the U.S. and Canada. Key findings
show that Black respondents place higher importance on well-being
as a result of the pandemic and an even greater focus on financial
health. More than half of Black respondents (54%) predict their
financial well-being will improve in 2022.
