Tepper Sports and Entertainment's Black employee resource group, STRIDE, hopes to enhance the engagement, progression, and retention of Black employees at TSE by fostering an inclusive culture, providing professional development, facilitating meaningful networking opportunities, and investing in our communities.
In support of investing in our communities, we have put together a directory of Black-owned businesses throughout the Carolinas. Add these to your list of go-to places, support these businesses, and then tell people about them!
The list is by no means exhaustive, and we welcome your additions. To add a Black-owned business from your community to this resource, click here.
