A group of Red Hook youth have started a guerilla marketing business—owned by its employees.
Red Hook is a predominately black and Latino part of Brooklyn, where around 38% of the population lives below the poverty line. For people raised and growing up in such an environment, the prospect of financial security—much less owning one's on business—can seem like a prospect that's perpetually out of reach.
