A South Florida entrepreneur and cancer survivor is transforming personal challenges into a mission to support Black entrepreneurship through community-focused business spaces. According to the South Florida Times, Joy St. Clair recently started a shared business workspace company.
‘Co-Space’ connects Black entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creatives with affordable office space, networking opportunities, and collaborative resources. It was created to tackle the lack of accessible professional environments and economic support often found in mostly Black communities. The entrepreneur, who overcame a cancer diagnosis several years ago, said this experience changed their view on legacy, economic empowerment, and the need to create sustainable spaces for other Black business owners.
