CEEM is paving the way for making significant strides in creating opportunities and platforms for Black entrepreneurs by addressing the unique barriers faced by minority-owned businesses. CEEM’s approach is multifaceted, providing access to essential resources, advocacy, and networking opportunities that empower Black entrepreneurs. One of our elite board members and CEO of CEEM is Stephanie Fredrick. She has become a plethora of different pillars for our community and is a standing force to connect black business owners to resources that would have been unattainable through strides of our own. There are many significant challenges that black entrepreneurs are faced with and one of them is access to capital. Stephanie has enlightened us that there are funding sources, such as grants, loans, government contracts, and investors who are focused on supporting diverse business ventures. This information is very valuable and has benefited us all.  Through networking and Community building, she has created a space for Black entrepreneurs to connect with one another to include potential clients, partners, and mentors by sharing knowledge, resources, and support fostering a community of empowerment and collaboration. This was implemented through an exciting and historic trip to Tulsa OK also known as Black Wall Street. This nostalgic moment was experienced and shared with the members of CEEM all because of this incredible pathway Stephanie has created for us.   Having access to technology and innovation, Stephanie recognizes the importance of tech in today’s economy by surrounding black entrepreneurs with the knowledge and resources of tech incubators. This is a way to help us leverage new technologies and stay competitive by introducing us to and utilizing Chat Black GPT and many other AI platforms.   Stephanie Fredrick’s presence and vital capabilities have been an asset to CEEM and all of the members who are a part of this Black Essence. She addresses critical areas and provides black entrepreneurs with the tools they need to succeed but she also works to dismantle the systemic obstacles that have historically hindered our progress.
