## Caption

🌟 Last night was a celebration of community and resilience for Black women entrepreneurs  at BDC Square in #Toronto for the Raise and Rise Connection Series organized by Spring Activator.

💰Here’s a thought-provoking fact: Black entrepreneurs receive less than 1% of venture capital funding in North America. Yet, the talent and innovation in the Black community are vast and inspiring. Imagine the change we could drive if funding were more inclusive.

🤗Thank you to Allison Gibson ,  Neema Rimber , Spring, BDC  and Sevrine Labelle  for hosting us. And to Gina El Kattan with her inspiring story founding Nuba Tisane 🇪🇬and all the remarkable women I met—your stories are inspiring, and I look forward to building a stronger entrepreneurial community together.

Here’s to breaking barriers for #BlackWomenFounders, advancing #ImpactInvesting, and fueling #Innovation. Let’s keep moving forward! 💪🏽
