America has always been associated with “making it,” but minority entrepreneurs in Phoenix, Arizona question if that opportunity is truly inclusive and available to all. Through GoDaddy’s award-winning Made in America series, we focus on the strength discovered when the ambition of individuals overcomes the opportunity gap. We also address the work being done to fight systemic issues and create a more level playing field for the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. As the heartbeat of the fastest growing city in the nation, these minority-owned businesses prove that even the desert can be an overflowing melting pot of success. Because this is what it looks like to be Made in America.

Stay tuned for episode 2 where we learn how entrepreneur Dizzie Ramsey started an entertainment business in Phoenix and what he’s doing during the pandemic to ensure the show goes on.
