Last night I learned how Michelle Cowell and Michael Lee-Chin are leveraging #nuclear #energy to treat #cancer and reduce our dependency on fossil fuel, which we know has terrible #environmental and #health impacts. I had no idea how versatile nuclear was and the #impact it could create. 💡 Fun fact: At the Investor Forum I learned that #Canada is a #leader in the nuclear #industry as the proud owner of the 2nd largest nuclear power plant in the world!! Based out of our very own #Ontario. As we look forward to #investing into #innovative alternatives outside of fossil fuel, what are your thoughts about leaning more into the nuclear #space?

Its a wrap! Another Black Innovation Zone activation ✅️ This year at Elevate, we distributed over 250 sponsored tickets to Black Innovators 🎉 From Collision to Elevate, it's honestly been an adventure leading the project management for the Black Innovation Zone! All on the side of my desk with an entire #Jamaican delegation of course 😆 This initiative started by simply pooling our #resources together to increase #access for Black Innovators at major conferences where we were often #underrepresented. As leaders running multiple accelerators, we truly listened to the needs and pain points of our startups, then created a #safespace where we could support them to achieve their #goals. The #Black #innovation #zone truly reflects team work and collaboration. Leveraging our unique strengths to create #meaningful #impact. When we work together, magic happens and the #community feels it ✨️ Huge thank you to our sponsors Doug Minter Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce, Yinka Adesesan DMZ, Sagal Abdi BlackNorth Initiative, Craig Wellington Black Opportunity Fund for your patience as we worked through some intense deadlines together 😅 thank you for believing in the vision and for the work that you do as leaders to pave the way for the next generation 🙏🏾 Stay tuned for what's next at the BIZ, we've got some exciting plans in store 🥳 #Community | #Black #Innovation | #WomenInSTEM | Launching 100 Black-owned Businesses in STEM by 2025 🚀

💡 Unlocking Growth & Building Bridges 💡 On October 4th, we wrapped up Black Women in Tech Week with a powerful roundtable hosted by BDC, where our Jamaican Delegates, along with other women entrepreneurs, explored key topics like scaling businesses, strategic planning, and unlocking growth potential. The discussions were rich with insights, paving the way for future success! 🎯 We were honoured to have the Consul General of Jamaica, Kurt Davis, share his wisdom and how his office supports entrepreneurs, making the event even more special. 🙌🏾 A huge thank you to BDC team Fatiha Senhaji (PL.Fin), Sola Oluwole, PMP, M.Sc, and Rowda Mohamud for facilitating this impactful session. Your expertise was invaluable! Let’s also give it up for our hardworking Jamaican Delegates and ecosystem leaders Alexia Beckford and Giovanni Maddix for their ongoing support and partnership throughout the week. None of this would’ve been possible without the Development Bank of Jamaica Limited, whose sponsorship of this 2024 cohort helped make Black Women in Tech Week a success. This is just the beginning—big things are on the horizon! 🌍💼✨ #Nobellum2024 #BlackWomenInTech #JamaicanDelegation #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #TorontoEvents
