Truist also sits on BBIF’s Community Development Committee, which has allowed BBIF to stay on track and on mission.
“I am the staff liaison to one of the boards for our Community Development Committee, and our Truist partners that are on those boards play a crucial role in our new initiatives,” said Rhema Nnadi, Director of Marketing at BBIF. “For example, we have a webinar series that we're in the process of producing, so Truist will come on as a subject matter expert around financial literacy, which will be broadcasted directly to underserved minority communities.”
The relationship with Truist Foundation has helped BBIF expand its impact throughout the state of Florida.
“Truist Foundation has been instrumental to our growth and, consequently, instrumental to the impacts we've had in the community in the state of Florida,” said Nnadi. “Truist Foundation and BBIF will continue to work together to get capital into the hands of Black business owners.”
