Description

The Raleigh Stewardship Council is proud to be an active participating community in the Black Wall Street Forward initiative. As part of this initiative, our group has collectively designed 2 projects to be launched, which we believe will Change the Narrative and help to reimagine Black Wall Street. Small Business Success Academy focuses on business growth through client acquisition and access to capital. The strategic intent is to initiate the development of a network of successful Black small business owners. It’s expected that kind of network can be the backbone for creating a reimagined Black wall street in Raleigh. This is a 4 1/2 day in-person experience in which entrepreneurs will prepare for the next level of success in their businesses by following the client acquisition model, building a strong support network that can be leveraged to build a thriving business, and becoming the backbone for the creation of the next reimagined Black Wall Street Raleigh. Everyone engaging with SBSA will have new perspectives and information on moving forward with their own practices and sharing them with their community. You will also have first access to learn more about Black Wall Street Forward Network: The Green Book For The New Economy which is building a comprehensive directory of Black-owned Businesses and Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESO's). The directory will help ESO’s quickly identify Black businesses across targeted segments to rapidly deliver service offerings. It will also act as a one-stop shop where Black entrepreneurs can source relevant resources, find mentors and technical assistance, ask questions, and build community within and outside of their designated segment. The purpose of the directory is to map ecosystem resources, better connect Black entrepreneurs to sources of support, and reduce the access and distribution challenges BEs and ESOs experience when trying to receive and deliver aid. Raleigh's City of Oaks Grant information will be provided Refreshments will be served
