Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc’s CEO Kecia Palmer-Cousins, COO Kevin Cousins and our Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. team hope that everyone is well today! 

Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc.’s CEO Kecia Palmer-Cousins had a great time this week supporting Minority and Women-owned Businesses (MWBEs) including our clients Leslie Allicks (The Tea Experience, LLC), Chereese Jervis-Hill (Events by Chereese, Inc.), Lauren Fofana (S.T.E.P. Academics and Arts NY, LLC), Jennifer Perry (Sacred Seeds Enterprise, LLC), Duane Penister (DePenn Realty) and Nathalie Noboa (The Noboa Haus, LLC) navigate their way through the October 2, 2023 NYC Annual Procurement Fair at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Kecia also kept it moving and shaking by joining over 150 MWBEs at SCORES – WOMEN’S SMALL BUSINESS SYMPOSIUM Beating The Odds at the Sonesta in White Plains, NY. SCORE Mentors and Subject Matter Experts including SCORE District Director Brigette McFarland kept things on track all day as jam-packed, informative lively workshops on How to Get Grants, Building Your Business Plan, Managing Your Finances through QuickBooks. SCORE’s CEO Bridget Weston gave a memorable, keynote speech that resonated with all of the attendees. 

Kecia got to finally meet face to face, post Pandemic, with her two SCORE mentors at this well attended event! Check out SCORE.org today for free resources and SCORE business mentors that can help you start, grown or transition your business.

Many minority and women business enterprise entrepreneurs use their local, County and State Agencies to stay current and tap into potential resources and procurement opportunities for their businesses and their communities. Getting MWBE Certified and procuring government contracts can help MWBEs build their businesses! Grants, loans, networking, attending training classes, workshops and joining chambers of commerce and professional organizations are also parts of MWBEs portfolios to grow their businesses. We encourage MWBEs to become civically and politically engaged in their communities and the communities that they serve!
