Kudos to the The Greater Durham Black Chamber of Commerce for the marvelous ex*****on of the inaugural event, "Coalesce: Black Women in Business." Held at The Parlour on Parrish in Durham, this event, hosted by Sabrena Mervin-Blake (Owner of LampLightHER Coaching) included networking, a scrumptious dinner provided by Virginia & Co, and a panel emphasizing themes of partnership, power, and legacy. I was privileged to serve as a panelist along with Ashley Rawlinson (Owner of HERitage Wines), Sharon Marsh (Owner of Marsh's Rentals), and Jameelah Jordan (Owner of Mozak Suites), along with our moderator, Dr. Ashlee Shands (Founder of The SHIFT Institute). We left inspired and empowered for our individual and collective entrepreneurial work ahead! parlouronparrish
