City of Philadelphia Director of Entrepreneurial Investment Archna Sahay sat down with Generocity Lead Reporter Tony Abraham for a public Slack interview last week.
It was revealing and interesting and good.
Generocity has the recap:
“I think it is really interesting that you have a person of color and a woman leading the efforts of this extremely influential sector in Philadelphia,” she said of her role in helping to level the playing field for entrepreneurs of color. “That sends a very strong signal.”
