This week for The @tmc_commcapital Milestone Loan Program, we're highlighting their community partner, @solefolks. *
Sole Folks is a community-based retail hub located in the heart of the historical Leimert Park Village. They're dedicated to cultivating Black entrepreneurship and creativity for underserved populations, and to providing opportunities to take emerging Black-owned product-based businesses to market.

If you have a cash-based #smallbusiness with one year of revenue, the #MilestoneLoan will provide selected businesses with a low-interest loan of $5,000. Our community partners @kyccla, @solefolks, and @thinkwatts will underwrite the loans for select small businesses that align with their missions. Check out the #linkinourbio to learn more, and visit the TMC Community Capital website for instructions on how to apply.

At the beginning of every meeting, open up five minutes for your team to speak about the news of the day, and their current concerns. By listening to feedback, you open up the dialogue for diverse experiences to thrive.

Community organizer Evelyn Yoshimura was one of the original three staff members to work at the Los Angeles Little Tokyo Service Center in 1980. Yoshimura devoted her life to community organizing, especially among Asian Americans: from building awareness about Japanese internment camps during World War II, to founding a magazine about Asian American Civil Rights, we honor Yoshimura's efforts breaking down stereotypes - through strengthening her local community. *
