We recognize the realities of working within limited resources. Even so, our commitment to responding to the needs our data has captured over the years continues to guide our direction, one project at a time. 📝
Not every path unfolds the way we expect. Our mission, however, remains unchanged.
Last year, we introduced one of our pillars, YETAP.✨
This year, we move forward with another, BAP-NB.
This year, BBPN will introduce the ACCESS Program for Entrepreneurs and Professionals (BAP NB), focused on strengthening business advancement, professional growth, entrepreneurship pathways, and community collaboration across New Brunswick.
🤝 collaboration
🚀 new initiative
💡 innovation
🌍 community impact
More information will follow as soon as possible.
Stay tuned.📌

What it ACTUALLY takes to film a roundtable
A little BTS from filming our first ever edition of Where We Learned It, Black History Month roundtable last September.
At @penniestopoundspod, we’re bringing people into rooms to have honest conversations about money, culture and the things that shape our financial lives.
This series is where I’ll share more of the behind the scenes of building it all — the shoots, the ideas, the loses and the wins.
Full roundtable available on our YouTube channel - link in bio 💸
Slowly but surely we’re building something special ✨
