Small Business Live is a philanthropic musical celebration to rally immediate support for small businesses and raise awareness of the Black Small Business community. The programming will include musical performances, a comedic host, cause-aligned celebrities, voices from non-profit partners to community leaders, and music videos reimagined. Small Business Live will highlight the needs of small businesses, stories of small business owners, and performances on location from currently closed businesses.
Hosted by DJ Jazzy Jeff, this event will feature performances from artists including Ms Lauryn Hill, Leon Bridges, and 2Chainz. Each artist will also share the stories of small businesses they know and love, highlighting what these businesses bring to their communities, and how they represent the attitude and heart of each city.
