COVID-19 halted that flow of employees in downtown Cleveland in 2020, but two women who were laid off during the pandemic are finding new success in their self-started companies.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Downtown Cleveland is indeed the heart of several corporate offices, local businesses and municipal buildings, and the thousands of employees working in them is what keeps the blooding.
Rohnesha Horne worked for iHeartMedia Cleveland for 12 years and held her dream position as Director of Marketing when she was let go last April. “I just sat there and I thought about his life that he dedicated to this company and how we dedicate our lives to companies, and they can just let us go at any time,” said Horne. “It was the day he died that I said I would start my own company.”
The spirit of entrepreneurship was alive and well in 2020. According to the Ohio Secretary of State, 171,023 new business filings were reported last year. Johnson started 1384 designers, a laser printing business that crafts everything from home decor to graduation gifts, but the custom, human-sized keys she made for local realtors became the key that opened a new career of real estate for her.
