COIN is back with some BIG updates👀

Our ✨free✨ 20-week accelerator to help you and your people build your own cooperative business is back! And this year we’ve added something big: We can now help pre-existing businesses convert to a cooperative business model! That means if you have a business and are interested in turning it into a co-op so you have more support, this program is perfect for you🤗

COIN Café is your first step into getting into COIN- you’ll show up to learn more about the program and what it requires, and you’ll get direct access to the COIN application. Our first café takes place on September 10th at Crosstown’s Church Health Center. To sign up for the cafe, click here: https://ow.ly/R0H150ZIrUQ

Happy 901 Day, Memphis!🥳

This past Sunday, we set up at W.C. Handy Park to talk culture with the city we love! Memphis Culture Coalition met so many incredible creatives and entrepreneurs, had real conversations about why Memphis needs a cultural plan, and nearly 50 of you signed up on the spot to join the coalition and grow our voice! 🎨✨

It was amazing connecting with so many people who already know what we know: Memphis culture deserves real investment.

The full story is coming soon, with more of what we heard and what Memphis creatives need! Want to join the movement? Visit memphisculture.com to sign up.

Happy , Memphis. Let's keep building! 🫶🏽

Happy 901 Day!🥳

This past Sunday, we brought Beale Street alive with something Memphis needed: JOY!✨ Markevius D. Faulkner warmed up the crowd alongside members of THE TENNESSEE MASS CHOIR and Dr. Jason Clark. We turned a street full of strangers into one community voice!

It was so powerful seeing so many folks willing to do something so simple to feel good and build community, and that's why we do Community Sing!

The full story is coming soon, but here's a taste of the time we had! If you want to know more about Community Sing, visit thebigwe.com/communitysing

Happy 🫶🏽
