On MSNBC, Johnson and Rafael Martinez, MBE Captial Partners' majority owner, spoke with Al Sharpton about the program and their goal to help 100,000 minority-owned businesses.
"This is two powerful companies coming together to make sure these women-owned, minority-owned businesses can still survive and thrive during this virus and during this time.
I built my business in urban America, in the inner city and I was once one of those small business owners.
So, I know how important it is to keep those employees working, keep those Black and brown people working in those small businesses in our community,” Johnson told Sharpton.
“And we can’t afford to let these people lose their businesses who have been working so hard to build their business and we want to help them grow their business and have scale because that’s what’s important.
