Facilitating, co-facilitating, and coaching at @cureateco has been such a dream. I started when baby girl was literally a baby. And just like her, I’ve grown and honed in on a few skills that had been dormant for a while.

Now, almost three years and 60+ entrepreneurs later I can spot the opportunity for a solution, digital and otherwise swiftly. Whewwww. Love it here.

“ @cureateco Courses s a tailored business training program with online and in-person elements, including one-on-one assistance, group coaching and interactive study.

You tell us about the community of entrepreneurs you’re interested in supporting, and we cureate a customized curriculum and marketing program catered to their needs.“

We Love Local! Have you spotted the new local signage at Charles Street Market? 👀

Hopkins Dining is proud to support Baltimore and Mid-Atlantic-based businesses, bringing more locally made products and community partners right to campus. Through our partnership with Cureate, we’re highlighting the makers, businesses, and flavors that call our region home.

Look for the “We Love Local” signs around CharMar to discover something new and LOCAL! 💙

My first stop for at @dcartallnight was @dolmarkets!

I appreciate the way they move. So very very very intentional. From the items on the shelves to the work on the walls, to the businesses the choose to place in the cafe?! As someone who facilitates and co-facilitates courses for local food and beverage businesses under @cureateco, my heart smiled when I saw one of our DC grads on the shelf and in the fridge! 🥹

Whew, there are resources all around us! Just like them, we have to be intentional in finding where they are and how we can access them.

Selected. Matched. Ready. Let’s Go Trinidad & Tobago🩷🩷🩷

Some doors open so quietly you almost miss the miracle in them. This is one of those moments.💐

As founder of Lillian’s Southern Box Catering I have been selected to serve as a business mentor in the Purpose & Profit Incubator — part of Conecta Caribbean, a regional initiative powered by Bridge for Billions under the CARIBEquity Facility, co-funded by IDB Lab and the European Union. One of 27 incubation programs igniting entrepreneurship across the Caribbean.🎉🎊🥳🩷

And here’s the part that has my heart full. I have been matched with an incredible entrepreneur in Trinidad and Tobago. A woman with vision, grit, and a dream worth fighting for. Tomorrow, we officially kick off this journey together.💐

I am humbled. Nearly 20 years of building programs, empowering & mentoring business owners in the US in underserved communities and globally (Liberia, Ghana, Nigeria). Pouring into people has led me to this exact moment — to sit across from her (even virtually) and say - I see you. I believe in what you’re building. Let’s go higher together.💐

To every mentor and entrepreneur stepping into this incubator: the Caribbean is about to feel what happens when purpose meets profit and community meets courage. Let the journey officially begin. I am looking forward to helping to strengthen innovation and impact with her venture🙏🏾🇹🇹

Special thank you to #StephanieEsprester and #FranklinKamnangNgansop for preparing me for this amazing opportunity. I am deeply grateful💐

With love in the details,
