Today is a reminder that in this life we have something to be grateful for everyday. 🙏🏽

As we were reminiscing on this reminder we were reminded of the impact that we have had since 2022 and in which we are so grateful for. We created Embolden to fuel and equip underrepresented entrepreneurs in Omaha to truly create economic impact. A community where entrepreneurs can come together to learn, connect, and grow. ♥️

Because here’s the truth: entrepreneurship is hard. It’s isolating, overwhelming, and full of challenges that can feel impossible to overcome when you’re alone. We’ve learned that the weight of those challenges feels lighter—and the path forward becomes clearer—when you’re surrounded by people who uplift and empower you. Often, the most unexpected connections are the ones that push you to dream bigger and reach higher. 📈

Entrepreneurship has the power to transform lives, families, and communities, and at Embolden, we believe that everyone deserves a seat at the table. Through Embolden, we’re not just creating opportunities—we’re building a movement. 🙌🏽

Thank you. We see you, believe in you, and are so grateful for you.

#Gratefulhearts #Thanksgiving2024 #Businessthanks #Community #Holidaythings

Success evolves, and so do you. 🙌🏽

As entrepreneurs, it’s okay to let your vision for success shift as you grow. 📈

As we reflect on the past and prepare for a new season, remember: true growth is about becoming a better version of yourself. 🤞🏽

Be on the lookout for our Vision Board event dropping next week! 👀

Entrepreneurs of color face significant financial hurdles: Black and Latinx business owners combined receive less than 3% of small business loans in the U.S. Additionally, minority-owned businesses have lower average revenues —

One example Black-owned businesses report an average annual revenue of around $58,000, compared to over $552,000 for white-owned businesses. This financial gap impacts business growth, access to resources, and the ability to hire and scale.

Embolden was created to help bridge these types of gaps by being a vital support network for diverse entrepreneurs. As we look ahead to 2025, we are fully committed to making an impact by focusing more on educational events, resources, and targeted support to help you overcome these challenges and thrive.

This year we will be finishing strong with two more networking mixers as we transition. Join us this month at The Connection Feast: An Entrepreneurial Friendsgiving on November 20, 2024.

Let’s connect, recharge, and set the stage for an impactful 2025 with a community that’s here to support you at every step. 🙌🏽

With much love, Alejandra & Dayana 🖤

November 5 is election day! 🗳️

As entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and industries, we each carry unique stories, perspectives, and visions for change.🌐

When we vote, we shape the future of our communities and the landscapes we build our businesses in. Voting is more than a right—it’s our responsibility to advocate for policies that empower growth, innovation, and equality for all. 💡

Let’s show up strong, because our voices matter and our votes create impact. Together, we can fuel a brighter, more inclusive future.

If you are voting drop a ✊🏽 in the comments!

We get it—entrepreneurship is a journey filled with late nights, tough decisions, and endless challenges. But here’s what we’ve learned: the people you surround yourself with can make all the difference. 🖤

Connections aren’t just about swapping business cards—they’re about finding those who believe in your vision, who celebrate your wins, and who lift you up when things get tough. It’s about creating a circle that pushes you forward and fuels your dreams.

Every event, every conversation, every shared experience brings us closer to building something truly impactful. To everyone who has been part of this journey with us, thank you. This is just the beginning, and we’re grateful to be walking this path with a community as passionate as ours. 🫶

Here’s to growing, connecting, and creating change together. ✨
