Lauryn Hill Tops Superfly’s Star-Studded ‘Small Business Live’ Benefiting Minority-Owned Companies
– Small Business Live
Ms. Lauryn Hill has been added to the top of the star-studded lineup released by Superfly for the Small Business Live philanthropic event supporting minority-owned small businesses, hosted by DJ Jazzy Jeff.
The iconic Ms. Hill joins an all-star cast that includes Chicano Batman, Luke James, 2 Chainz, T-Pain, Brandi Carlile, Brittany Howard, Leon Bridges, Nathaniel Rateliff, Allen Stone, Moon Taxi, and still more.
The event will take place Saturday, June 20 from 4-10 p.m. EDT, onsite at local small businesses close to each artist’s heart, as well as other unique locations, from which artists will share with viewers their personal stories behind what each business means to them and their communities.
The event will be livestreamed on TikTok, along with YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitch, LinkedIn for Small Business, Twitter, LiveXLive and Bustle Digital Group’s publications, and will be presented by Superfly with founding partners TikTok, AT&T Business, GoDaddy, Vistaprint and Square.
All proceeds from Small Business Live will be donated to Accion Opportunity Fund.
Superfly, the live entertainment and brand experience company that helped create Bonnaroo and Outside Lands, chose to support this non-profit given their nearly three decades track record of providing almost 90% of their loans to small businesses founded by people of color, as well as supporting immigrant-owned and women-owned businesses.
Viewers will be encouraged to donate to the cause by texting “SmallBiz” to 707070.
Charitable funds will be accepted during the livestreamed event, and fans will be able to donate at https://SmallBiz.Live/ before and after the livestream through June 26.
