Jennifer Hudson & MasterCard Team Up To Support Black-Owned Businesses

Jennifer Hudson has formed a partnership with MasterCard in an endeavor that’s primary focus is to strengthen and push Black-owned businesses forward.

The partnership seeks to use a $500 million commitment to build up Black-owned small businesses that have suffered in the past year due to the pandemic, while giving financial opportunities to entrepreneurs affected by the racial wealth and opportunity gap that Black communities across the U.S. face every day.

Hudson gave a statement, saying:

“To think small businesses have been suffering for the past year, so I feel like it is right on time, and is very necessary and needed.”
