The High-Five Blogcast: 5 Questions with Eugene Mitchell, President and CEO, E. Mitchell Enterprises, LLC
“We’re not so much divided in the black community as we are disconnected, in the black community. And especially in the case of the insurance industry. Looking out across this landscape, only 4% of agents in this industry are African-American. Even fewer of a percentage are managers. And even less are principals, or general agents, or managing partners, depending on what company it is that you work for.
And when I look around, many of them are just hanging on - never making the upper levels of success, let alone making a true and successful career out of this, and | or passing on a business on to their children like I see other communities doing.
To answer your point, and where I am going with this, is that we have to get connected.”
