Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Tiffany Bussey.  She is the founding Director of the Morehouse Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center.  They assist in the development of minority entrepreneurship.  

The Morehouse Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC) is a global model for higher education and industry collaborations to foster innovation and entrepreneurial leadership. Established in 2004 as a unit of Morehouse College, the Center has continually operated with an internal and external focus to promote innovation and entrepreneurship with people of color.

Since its inception the Center has secured grants and contracts in excess of $50M and impacted over 2100 students.  Through the Department of Defense Mentor-Protégé Program we partnered with over 17 large mentoring corporations and assisted over 100 technology protégé growth companies nationwide. Our efforts of providing developmental assistance to these protege companies resulted in an increase in $20M in revenue and created over 150 new technology jobs.

On Wednesday, December 11, 2024, MIEC will commemorate its 20th anniversary with the unveiling of the Building Black Business Report 2024 starting at 9 a.m. inside the Shirley A. Massey Executive Conference Center on the campus of Morehouse College. The report details an 18-month community engagement research initiative convening Atlanta-based Black business serving organizations. Immediately afterward, there will be a legacy impact luncheon to commemorate the significant impact MIEC has had on the transformation of Black entrepreneurship. The organization will also reveal its plans for a bold and influential future. Since 2004, MIEC has developed life-changing opportunities for more than 400 small businesses, resulting in more than $255 million in revenue growth and $35 million in capital access.
