Our past two blogs have highlighted Konvo clients in the creative arts space; arts, TV and film. But the talent doesn’t stop there. This month, we’re shifting gears to acknowledge the changemaking forces within the non-profit realm, spotlighting the Federation of African Canadian Economics (FACE Coalition) who are amplifying economic wellness and building generational wealth for Black Canadians through its Black Entrepreneurship Fund.
FACE marked its 1 year anniversary with a lineup of impressive organizational milestones; these included inaugural Masterclasses hosted by seasoned experts who offer exclusive industry information and guidance for navigating an array of industries from personal care, interior design, financial services, fitness, to restaurants and more. FACE embarked on a series of campaigns to highlight the innovative products and services offered by its multifaceted entrepreneurs including Small Business Week, International Women’s Day, and Mompreneurs along with conducting official Senate presentations.
With all their efforts and impact, FACE has been showcased across various media platforms such as CityNews 680, About Her Culture, Canadian SME, ByBlacks, HOLR Magazine, and Entrevestor.
FACE leadership also embarked on a cross country tour alongside partnering organizations, where they visited members in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, to exchange valuable personal and professional learnings together.
In addition to the abundance of member resources, FACE founded The Other Canada, an original, topranked podcast, delivering critical insight on business operations, community and leadership that features a roster of illustrious guests including Nerissa Allen and Clavia Alleyne, founders of the Black Business Association of BC (BBABC) along with FACE leadership, partners and members.
There is no shortage of achievements for FACE as they continue to accelerate wealth creation for Canadians of African descent through its organization and ecosystem of partners. We look forward to what’s next for FACE and their innovative members who are undoubtedly making waves in the Canadian business scene. Follow us on social media for the latest updates!
