We were honored to partner with Converge Media LLC to help capture and tell this story. Last week, before the Series officially began we filled the Bishop Adams Room at Byrd Barr Place with just a few of Seattle’s best, brightest and brilliant Black business owners, creators and entrepreneurs to provide opportunity and give voice to the opportunity to access capital and other resources available to help them build impactful, sustainable businesses. As an organization dedicated to building vibrant and thriving Black communities, this event is both essential and pivotal for our ongoing efforts to create a pipeline of economic mobility, encompassing housing, education, and more. We invute you to enjoy this visual story but, more than that, we invite you to tap into the opportunity to support this mission.
