Today we rolled out [**New Revivalists**](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/18-people-places-policies-reviving-entrepreneurship-american-burns/), a new series from ImpactAlpha and Village Capital profiling the people, places and institutions reviving entrepreneurship — and America.

We’re kicking it off with an interview with Derrick Braziel, whose organization, MORTAR, is breaking down barriers for Cincinnati’s entrepreneurs of color.

Check out the series and Derrick’s interview here— and check back regularly for more updates, or [follow Impact Alpha’s newsletter, The Brief](http://impactalpha.com/TheBrief/), to get these stories straight in your inbox.
