🚨 FREE Program starting THIS WEDNESDAY, OCT 7 on Zoom 🆓

If you're a newcomer or a small business owner in Canada, chances are no one sat you down and walked you through how credit really works, what lenders actually look for, or how to manage cash flow when business gets unpredictable. No one handed you a guide. We built one. 🌱

Our Entrepreneurship & Newcomer Financial Literacy Program™ is changing that. In partnership with Black Opportunity Fund, TD Canada and Mastercard Canada this 12 week course will shift you from surviving to building. 🚀

From money stress ➡️ to a budget that actually works.

From avoiding the numbers ➡️ to understanding your own business finances.

From no system ➡️ to bookkeeping that runs itself.

From credit confusion ➡️ to a funding strategy that's yours.

🇨🇦 Open to all Canadians and newcomers.
🕐 10:00 AM PT | 1:00 PM ET
Limited spots left.

🏆 This is our STABILIZE step of our BEST Method™ and, like our alum Victoria Ibrahim | Self-Trust & Decisions says: "It's almost like AI for a business owner - telling you exactly what you need to do next."

Some rooms change everything. NABOC Osoyoos is one of them.

Yesterday Canada's most impactful Indigenous-meets-Industry conference returns to Osoyoos and there are 2 more impactful days ahead — 200 leaders, 70+ joint ventures and the kind of conversations that turn opportunity into action. 💫

Representing Black Entrepreneurs & Businesses of Canada Society and the BEBC Supplier Council at this year's conference is our very own Candace Lauren | Communications Strategist, Director of Programs and Strategic Partnerships.

Candace has been part of BEBC from the very beginning. She opened the pathway for our programs department to become what it is today, and she helped us certify suppliers that have secured $5.5M toward our $1B goal and change what's possible for Black-owned businesses in Canada. 🎉

Candace is at the heart of every BEBC program. Her passion for experiential learning and community runs through every touchpoint — how our programs are designed, how they're experienced and how we show up for the entrepreneurs we serve. She coaches our team to enrich the client experience, leads our alumni network and external partnerships, and works every day to grow our programs and services across Canada. 🇨🇦

She doesn't just open doors.

She builds them.

And NABOC is exactly the kind of space she was made for — where relationships between Indigenous and industry leaders are developed, where joint ventures are born and where the kind of partnerships that turn possibility into reality are born.

Candace will be there representing our mission to advance supplier diversity and economic opportunity for all Canadian businesses. She will also be speaking so if you’re going, you’ll already know someone in the room — and she’d love to connect. 🤝

🚀 When we say certification opens doors — this is what we mean.

Tomorrow, our very own Silvia The Career Doctor joins WBE Canada's Supplier Innovation Day in Vancouver as a panelist for "The Value of Certification and Partnering with WBE Canada."

As Programs Manager for Black Entrepreneurs & Businesses of Canada Society and Corporate Membership Lead for the BEBC Supplier Council, Silvia is at the heart of everything we do — building programs that create real opportunities for entrepreneurs, fostering supplier diversity across Canada, and connecting certified businesses with the buyers and institutions that need them. 💪🏾

She is a firm believer in the power of people, leadership and results. You see it in the entrepreneurs she supports. The programs she shapes. The doors she helps open every single day at BEBC. Tomorrow, Vancouver gets to experience that and learn from her firsthand. We couldn't be more proud! 🎉

🎟️ Going to be at Supplier Innovation Day? Our team would love to meet you, learn about your business and share how BEBC can support your supply chain or entrepreneurship goals. 💫

Because it's like that — it’s a community turning collective effort into measurable impact. 🤝🏽

We’ve seen what’s possible when a community comes together, commits to growth, and keeps moving forward. The results speak for themselves — not just in where we started, but in how far we’ve come.

Every contribution, every connection, every step forward adds up to something bigger: real outcomes that create lasting impact.

We’ve evolved together.
Built together.
Celebrated together.
Driven by results.
Measured by impact.
