    Colleagues:

    For those interested in how CDFIs can advance racial equity -- especially in meeting the needs of entrepreneurs of color -- I'm sharing the recordings from two events that we've been part of.  Earlier this week, I moderated an Aspen Institute event on Scaling Lending to Entrepreneurs of Color, which featured Francisco Lopez of Dreamspring, Michael Barr of UMich, Tim Ogden of FAI at NYU-Wagner, and Marla Blow of Mastercard. And earlier this month I joined Olivia Rebanal of Capital Impact, Alicia DeLia of the Runway Project and moderator Amy Wallace of JPMorgan Chase & Co presented on an event "Meeting their Mission:  How CDFIs can Better Serve Entrepreneurs of Color" for the Bay Area Asset Funders Network and Northern California Grantmakers.

    Best,
    Joyce
