South Carolina’s Second Chance initiative not only helps create a pathway to employment for returning citizens, it provides employers with a larger pool of skilled workers, as well as hiring incentives, making for a more robust workforce. Graniteville Specialty Fabrics is just one of our many Second Chance success stories. In 2019, the company utilized the Work Opportunity Tax Credit to hire a formerly incarcerated individual, who has since become a valuable member of the team, receiving multiple raises of the last five years of employment. In their own words, the employee is “one of our best performers.” How’s that for a win-win? Learn more about the Second Chance initiative: https://bit.ly/4aAtvQV.

On this, the final official day of #blackhistorymonth, we are going to take a bit of a turn and focus on two *current* business development #historymakers right here in Louisville. If you have not had a chance to meet James Beckett and Johnetta Roberts, then you have at least been - or will be - impacted by their business development work in West Louisville. In his own words, Re:land Group founding partner James H. Beckett describes his passion and drive: "I build things that were not previously there. This includes 'hope.' Embarking on purpose-driven journeys to make transformational change takes conviction and courage. My passion for building transcends industries, organizational charts, job titles and international borders. Being comfortable with the uncomfortable runs in my veins and it is time to inspire my colleagues to get a bit uncomfortable for the betterment of others. I am always considering the possibilities to create a better future." Johnetta Roberts is making her own mark on business development that focuses on the needs and voices of the community, and uplifts community members as critical stakeholders in any business development project. The Founder and CEO of The 40 & 1 Company -- a real estate project and business initiatives consulting firm based in Louisville's west end -- reflects, "I grew up in a neighborhood that was rich with people but lacked financial investment and wealth building opportunities. I founded my company because I want children currently living in Louisville's west end to enjoy vibrant and safe commercial buildings full of thriving businesses in their neighborhoods." There is much, much more to come from these two local history makers, and we at Bakers Studio are thrilled to have a front-row seat to the action. #blackhistorymonth #wmbe #businessdevelopment #louisville #westlouisville #fortyandone #relandgroup #bakersstudio
