EPISODE 17
Educator and Evangelist for Under-Serviced Entrepreneurs – For Darlisa Diltz, opening her own center to provide other entrepreneurs with training and access to resources was a personal challenge. Serving the broader Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, Darlisa opened the North Texas Entrepreneur Education & Training Center in 2018 as a “no judgment” zone for people like her to start and build their businesses. In this conversation with guest host Jacqui Dietrich of Economic Impact Catalyst , Darlisa shares more about creating culturally appropriate programs and her experience as the only Black woman to lead a small business support organization in her ecosystem.
