About this Event
Whether you are in the grind of the startup phase or in full-fledged operational status, entrepreneurship can feel like it takes up all of your time and energy. As Black founders specifically, the additional pressures and limited resources may make it feel like all that you have needs to go into making your business successful. This leaves little time for self-care, and it can be hard to set boundaries that separate you as an individual from you as the business owner. In this workshop, Black entrepreneurs will gain insight and skills around boundary setting and self-care practices that can be implemented into their busy routines.
Plan to arrive with enough time to find parking and locate our entrance at the corner of Peabody and BB King, directly across from Hooters and Hampton Inn.
About the Series:
Black entrepreneurs have a unique experience as they navigate both the challenges of starting a business and the barriers that exist for people of color. Though necessary efforts are often made to help Black founders access capital and resources, we believe it is also important to support the mental health and wellness of Black entrepreneurs as they start and maintain their business endeavors. Through an offering of five workshops, Black founders will learn how to bolster their mental and emotional wellness. If you’re a black entrepreneur looking for skills and applicable knowledge that will support your holistic health, then tap into one, two, or all of the workshops in this series.
Norms:
This is a safe space for marginalized identities in entrepreneurship.
The voices and experiences of Black founders will be elevated in this space.
Each person’s perspective of their lived experience will be respected.
Vulnerability and openness encouraged, but participants can share as much as they feel comfortable
