Even before the pandemic, US Census numbers show that eight out of ten black-owned businesses failed in the first year and a half. This week's Jefferson Award winner is a woman whose goal is to turn things around.

Andrea Baker was a college student from Jamaica studying hotel and restaurant administration at Cornell University.

Baker became a self-described"serial entrepreneur:" she started several businesses - from catering to gifts - in a span of a decade. En2Action empowers and supports several dozen small business owners each year who are black, indigenous and people of color. And Dontaye Ball of Gumbo Social calls Baker a lifeline. He says the food hub she created with other partners kept black vendors like him and Johnson in business during the pandemic delivering food boxes to those in need.
