Congratulations to our co-director Vanessa Fajemisin for this very cool honour!
The Innovators & Entrepreneurs Foundation (IEF): “A prize recognizing and celebrating visionary Black business leaders from across Canada, this award is extended to those demonstrating excellence and outstanding achievements in entrepreneurship. 2020 was a year of racial reckoning and consciousness raising around the dangers and realities of inequality and unchecked privilege, of which the business world must not ignore.We are certain that solutions will come from those most directly affected, so believe that supporting the talent, tenacity, innovation and audacity of entrepreneurs from the Black community is as vital as ever.”
