Description

Welcome back to Access & Opportunity. In these unprecedented times of COVID-19, we're checking in with some of our favorite guests from previous seasons to understand how they're adjusting their schedules, their businesses, their outlook, and their investing styles. In this episode, Carla welcomes back Hope Knight, President and CEO of the Greater Jamaica Development Corporation and a member of the New York City Planning Commission.Ms. Knight was the inaugural guest on Access & Opportunity almost two years ago. We wanted to see how, despite the current circumstances, she continues to nurture opportunities for businesses in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, in New York City. We discuss how she's supporting her partner businesses and tenants, how she's managing the challenges of remote leadership, and her hopes for a relatively rapid recovery.https://www.morganstanley.com/what-we-do/inclusive-innovation-and-opportunityThe guest speakers are neither employees nor affiliated with Morgan Stanley & Co.

On the Access and Opportunity podcast, host Carla Harris, a Vice Chairman at Morgan Stanley, asks the question: How can we connect capital with communities that traditionally have been left behind? One way is by talking to the people who are already doing it. Entrepreneurs, investors, developers and activists join Carla, who taps into her 30 years of experience on Wall Street, to explore why investors are unaware of the above-market returns that exist in investing in multicultural- and women-owned businesses, and how to dispel these misconceptions and exploit this market inefficiency. Together, they show what's possible through the people who are making it possible.
