Empowering Black Entrepreneurs Through Franchising: Dee Clemmons Joins Dr. Dee Dawkins-Haigler on Wake Up with Dee Morning Show
Atlanta, GA – In a compelling interview on News & Talk WAOK’s “Wake Up with Dee” Morning Show, Dr. Dee Dawkins-Haigler sat down with Business Development Consultant and franchise advocate Dee Clemmons to discuss the transformative power of franchising for Black entrepreneurs. The conversation delved deep into how business ownership—specifically through franchising—can create generational wealth, strengthen communities, and increase representation in industries where diversity is still lacking.
Dee Clemmons, a dynamic and experienced business consultant, brings years of expertise in helping aspiring entrepreneurs navigate the complex world of franchising. Her passion lies in empowering Black individuals and families to explore ownership opportunities that are often overlooked or inaccessible due to lack of information or support.
“Franchising is a path to economic empowerment that too many in our community don’t realize is within reach,” said Clemmons. “It’s not just about buying into a brand—it’s about building a legacy.”
During the interview, Clemmons shared real-life success stories, broke down the initial steps to franchise ownership, and offered insights into what makes franchising a viable and smart option for those seeking financial independence. She emphasized the importance of representation in franchise systems—pointing out that when Black entrepreneurs take ownership in their communities, it shifts both perception and economic power.
Dr. Dawkins-Haigler praised Clemmons for her tireless efforts in community development and her commitment to leveling the playing field.
“What Dee Clemmons is doing is revolutionary,” said Dr. Dee. “She’s not just talking about entrepreneurship—she’s creating access and opening doors for the next generation of Black business leaders.”
