Today isn't a good day. I posted a few wks ago my excitement at providing my state's 1st AI project with a lot of data about NC's Black Entrepreneur community. The data was shown to VP Harris to help win a $30+ million grant. Today, I learned my data is to be SCRAPPED.

Apparently, it is "no longer appropriate" to highlight Black businesses separate from other businesses in NC. We are no longer a special group of consideration.

And yet...

Women-focused entrepreneur data in the database is allowed to stand separate.

I've lodged a complaint and await a response.

I am at a standstill and awaiting a response, Puck. Logic says that I should be a whistleblower and tell the feds what the state did to get the VP's support and now that work is gone. The grant should be rescinded. I need more info before I can do anything more. Thanks for asking. 👍
In response to Puckarama.

Ugh! I’m angry for you!
Hoping you are treated fairly in the end.
