Reflecting on the opportunity I received to represent our client the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs during the Islandpreneur POWER Fest in St. Maarten a few weeks ago. The experience spearheaded by Dr. Ife Badejo, recognizes women entrepreneurs’ pivotal role in driving economic innovation and sustainable growth and provides workshops, presentations, and experiential learning opportunities filled with strategies they can use to expand their business in other markets. While I went there to share business development resources from RICE’s Big IDEAS curriculum and to present on the entrepreneurial mindset and the importance of learning agility, I was more impacted and inspired by the wealth of social and cultural capital in St. Maarten. When I returned to Atlanta I was even more committed to building iCURRIC into a trusted brand that partners with social impact organizations in delivering innovative tech enabled learning experiences that empower and enhance economic mobility in underserved communities. Thank you Monica Delores Hooks, MBA, EDP and Ife Badejo for the opportunity to support the work you do in increasing access to opportunities for entrepreneurs and to Allyson Eman Aly Merritt and Nicholas Mulkey for a phenomenal collaborative effort and display of how Atlanta shows up in support of global business and partnerships. And to the entire Islandpreneur team…keep up the great work and I look forward to continuing this work together!

Relationships are golden. Over the past couple days, we have connected in a meaningful way with the continent of Africa. The first day networking with Innovate Atlanta and reconnecting with a new group of #MandelaFellows. Every year this bright group of political scientist and entrepreneurs come to the states to engage and expand. It is such a pleasure to meet them. Their ideas, their perspectives and our ability to collaborate… 💥 🫱🏿🫲🏾 Stephen Machua Julius .J. Mbungo II it was a pleasure. Let’s continue to build together. Barry J. L. thank you for the invitation. Bianca Kiovanni, Ellakisha O'Kelley, Esq. Natalie J. M-T Strickland good to see you in the space!! Then the US launch of SNDBX Atlanta with Joram Mwinamo & Iruku Makanga at the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs. I’ve said this before and it was a basic principle of Mr Herman J Russell, “Collaboration beats competition everyday of the week!” The professional village you are building will be fortified by the thought that we accomplish more together than individually. Thank you both for allowing me to welcome the group to RICE. Jennifer Barbosa Ricardo Berrís AMAZING DAYS! Growth and progress 💪🏾 🚀 #Africa #Diaspora

Another special evening at the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs. The Real Estate & Construction tribe welcomed Auta Lopes for a intimate discussion on her background in the banking industry and current role at Unity National Bank. Her insight into the industry and providing insight into topics like recent trends, best practices when raising debt/equity, and a number of other topics. We are incredibly humbled to have an active President of the oldest black owned bank in the country join us for this discussion. We also had a surprise appearance by H.Jerome Russell. Who shared the history between his family and Auta’s early rise in the industry. Special moment bringing together old friends for a healthy topic on banking and real estate. Our goal is to continue creating atmospheres where collaboration and information sharing happens with ease. This is the only way we can change the current economic climate of our communities. By actually talking to each other and not withholding information. Auta Lopes is a wonderful example of this and we thank her very much for her time. Thanks to our sponsors: Interrüt and Centennial Yards Company #realestate #banking #commericalrealestate #debt #equity #interrut #colorco #russellinnovationcenterforentrepreneurs #tribes #realestateandconstruction #atlanta #collaboration
