I loan because:
my lifework is firmly based in the belief that supporting under-resourced entrepreneurs is key in building thriving, sustainable, and healthy communities.
About me:
I am currently the Interim Executive Director of Mandela Partners - a non-profit organization that works to improve health, create wealth, and build assets through local food enterprises in low-income communities. I am deeply invested in economic development, business advising, accessible capital, and community engagement. I was a KF16 Kiva Fellow in Bolivia!
