On Feb. 27, our friends at Ignite Business Women Investment Group hosted “The Power of Wealth-Building through Cooperatives,” an evening of networking and info sessions to celebrate Black History Month and the economic impact of cooperative investments. The event brought together cooperative experts and advisors—including Nexus’ Nonkululeko (Nkuli) Shongwe—to guide attendees through actionable strategies for forming community cooperatives and building wealth.
Nkuli reflects, “We shared some amazing stories about our work, and also the resources that are available from Northstar insured ownership center. And we were able to talk about the corporate ecosystem, especially with their cooperative in the room also presenting. It was really fun to be in community with the women from Ignite!”
