Samantha Castle I see our powerful spirit and excellence reflected in this amazing collection of work. Mar 2, 18:01
Nadia Sesay I see pride and I see beauty. The experiences of groups in “global north & south” is not dissimilar. I see unity between the works created by the two groups of artists, which is logical given the model of resistance and freedom in SA that was replicated in the Civil Rights Movement. Great to see everything presented together as platforms rarely exclusively present them together. Feb 27, 20:21

Check out @oakstop founder, Trevor Parham in this talk with Marquesa Finch of @pyrium.co and @valencecommunity about equity crowdfunding on Friday March 5th at 12pm.

Equity crowdfunding is quickly staking it’s ground in venture capital. As we move into the era of the retail investor, more and more business financing will be backed by regular people. It is an opportunity for anyone who is interested in participating in the venture process to benefit off the success of high growth companies. In light of recent events like Robinhood’s explosive growth, Bitcoin’s popularity, and the now infamous GameStop short squeeze, it’s clear that we are at the dawn of the era of the retail investor.
