SMJ Magazine - Summer 2021

In this issue

This issue is one of SMJ's most important historically from a number of viewpoints. First of all, the announcement of the Canadian federal Black Entrepreneurial Loan Fund and the establishment of the Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce are two halves of a watershed moment in black cultural history. We have two stories on each topic in this issue. The Publisher's Five Rules for Business Success represents a historic plateau in her personal journey; pivoting an entrepreneurial course taken a decade ago to an e-course which will assist women today in adapting to the post COVID new normal. Relationships may undergo a historic change coming out of the pandemic. A new writer and our regular Affairs of the Heart contributor discuss in two separate articles how frankness and pleasure may be more in the open in the future than at any time in the past. And finally, an op.ed. makes an historical prediction that we will be far from rid of COVID-19 even though it may be declared over and the recovery period begins.
