Testimonials
I launched NJ3Q in September of 2021 — just after the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. I had always wanted to start a business, and the downtime afforded to me during the pandemic lockdown offered the level of focus I needed to start the process. Having served in a business development capacity for two CBE firms, I immediately engaged with the team at DSLBD to obtain my CBE certification and seek additional guidance.
As a black woman and a service-connected disabled resident of Washington D.C., my journey as a business owner has been both empowering and challenging. Washington D.C. has a vast amount of resources, and the personal touch I’ve experienced when collaborating with various agencies has been invaluable. Despite the complexities of navigating the District’s regulatory maze, the unique advantages far outweigh the hurdles.
