The Impact of Impact Investing LIVE ft Shea Yeleen

​The Impact Investing industry has poured billions of dollars into bettering communities all over the world. While many of us do the tasking work behind the scenes of the industry, we may not always see the tangible impact of our work right here in our own backyards! 

​Join WISE-DC on Thursday, June 12th (6pm-7:30pm) for a live impact report from local social entrepreneur and Founder of Shea Yeleen, Rahama Wright, as she shares how public and private impact investments have helped her take her company from DC to helping to train and partner with dozens of women-owned cooperatives in Ghana where she sources her shea butter products.
