Our Impact
Pushing You and Your Business to the Next Level!
Despite significant progress, disparities in business ownership and leadership opportunities persist. Before the pandemic, businesses owned by people of color faced greater financial vulnerability, and COVID-19 deepened these challenges—particularly for Black entrepreneurs, whose numbers dropped by over 40% in early 2020.

Push Strategist™, LLC prides itself in providing a purpose roadmap to the BIPOC community and organizations over the years with following partners:
While Push Strategists™, LLC. serves clients globally, Ose Seesay, Founder and CEO, calls Minneapolis home. It is here where there are an increasing number of refugees, immigrants, and people who identify as BIPOC. The share of BIPOC- owned businesses with multiple employees was only 1% and those without employees was 7% in 2018 (most recent data available) in the Greater Twin Cities Metro area [2]. Carson Gorecki—the Northeast Regional Analyst for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)—stated that when these entrepreneurs advocate the need for more BIPOC business owners in the area, their perceptions are accurate [3]. Ultimately, there is a need for more inclusiveness, entrepreneurship, and talent development within this community and Ose works to support local entrepreneurs and businesses seeking to close this gap.
