Help Us Move The Industry Forward
We cannot accomplish our mission to diversify the retail industry without the help of our Volunteers and Coaches! If you're interested in making a difference in the lives of students and entrepreneurs of color, we are always looking for volunteers to help with our initiatives, and industry experts to serve as Coaches for our program participants.
Leading the Change
Meet The Founder
