This is Part 2 of my Feature interviews with Muyinza Kasiyre. 

Born in Uganda, Muyinza emigrated to Canada at the age of 5.  After losing his mother to cancer, Muyinza and his family relocated to Boston, Massachusetts, where he began making his music. Surrounded by drug and gun violence in his new neighborhood, Muyinza decided to stay inside and make music. In 2014, he made his most life-changing investment.  He moved back home to his father’s house, worked 80 hours a week for a year, and was able to save $20K. He then took that money, moved to L.A. and invested it into an e-commerce business.  That business went on to earn him $700K over the next 4 years!  He then started a Digital Media company made up of all black individuals from diverse backgrounds that have combined their skill sets to produce world class results.

In Part 2 of this Feature Interview Muyinza talks about the problems and struggles faced by black entrepreneurs and business owners today. Warning. Muyinza didn’t pull any punches here in calling out those of us who are, in his words, long on talk and short on action. He also speaks about things white people can do to be better allies to their black colleagues. In speaking with Muyinza I found myself wanting to help, and after our on air conversation I reached out to people in my network that I thought may be able to help. I would encourage all if you to do the same.
