NBIC's Sips & Strategies: Empowering Entrepreneurs through Financial Literacy Earlier this month, NBIC hosted a successful Sips & Strategies event, kicking off with a powerful presentation on protecting your assets by Shanna Johnson of Truist. This valuable session equipped entrepreneurs with the knowledge and tools to safeguard their financial well-being. Lechelle Moore, CFP® and @Chris Moore also delivered an insightful talk on "Writing a Love Letter to Your Family," emphasizing the importance of financial planning for future generations. This resonated deeply with our mission at NBIC, as we strive to empower entrepreneurs to build wealth and ensure its legacy. February is Black History Month, and at NBIC, we celebrate by making history every day. We are dedicated to scaling companies owned by minorities and closing the wealth gap. While many entrepreneurs achieve financial success, understanding how to protect and pass on their wealth can be a challenge. We are grateful for community partners like Truist and UBS who share our commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and building generational wealth. Together, we can create a brighter future for our communities. Truist Wealth Angela Conner Johnny B.

Texas Bankers Association, Sunflower Bank, N.A. and Black Women In Business took our first history making “step” in March of this year to present the Community Investment Program: Small Business Success Series, and it has been a huge success! The four-part series is designed to help entrepreneurs get a better grip on their finances to positively impact the future of their businesses. Financial education, banking direction and access to more capital are three key factors in the success of businesses or the lack thereof. Black entrepreneurs are much more likely to rely on personal funds and credit to finance their businesses. This is due in part to barriers to attain bank loans and other sources of institutional capital, but it is also the result of staggering inequalities. Our goal is to do our part to help change the “game.” Rod Griffin, Senior Director, Consumer Education and Advocacy for Experian was our presenter for the evening. Our topic was “Making The Change From Personal to Business Credit and Understanding Scores.” This 26 year Experian MVP brought his ‘A’ game! Thanks, Rod! I would also like to thank, Donna Day, Central Texas Regional Market President and her Sunflower Bank Team for opening their doors for BWIB. The investment speaks volumes to the mission of your leadership and bank. Thank you, Mary Lange, VP of Texas Banker’s Association for having a desire to ‘create’ a stronger relationship with not only Black entrepreneurs, but the Black community as a whole. In order to change the game, we must first be willing to understand it from the perspectives of those who it impacts. Your support and leadership are greatly appreciated. We Are Better Together. #businessbanking #newvision #credit #finances #experian #bwib #community #blackownedbusinesses #watchthework
