For budding Black business owners, education and administrative support are valuable, and so is having a group of peers to talk to.

That’s been the experience of three Ontario entrepreneurs who participate in the Southwestern Ontario Black Entrepreneurship Network (SWOBEN). 

“It’s been a whirlwind,” SWOBEN manager Francoise Yesaya-Keddy tells CBC Hamilton.

The program launched in December 2022, with the goal of connecting and providing resources to Black business owners, entrepreneurs and non-profits. It’s run out of Hamilton charity Empowerment Squared and funded by federal agency FedDev Ontario.
