It was an honor to join the U.S. Development Finance Corporation's 5th anniversary celebration today alongside distinguished leaders like Secretary Blinken and Senator Chris Coons. But the true highlight was reuniting with two remarkable women who championed our journey from the very beginning - turning an ambitious application into reality through their unwavering support. This milestone reminds us that when women uplift each other, barriers break and dreams materialize. Their advocacy within the DFC system proved that the power of sisterhood extends far beyond professional networks - it transforms visions into impact. Here's to celebrating not just institutional milestones, but the meaningful relationships that make seemingly impossible goals achievable. #WomenSupportingWomen #DFC5Years #Sisterhood #WhartonMBA

🍫 Interview with A Serial Entrepreneur: Meet Axel Emmanuel of Chocolatier Ivoirien At the heart of our Investment Readiness Program is our commitment to finding visionary founders making real impact. During our June kickoff, we had the privilege of hosting Axel EMMANUEL, whose company Chocolatier Ivoirien is revolutionizing fine chocolate production in West Africa. What sets Axel's venture apart? His dedication to empowering women across the value chain - from cocoa planters to processors. By prioritizing women's participation, Chocolatier Ivoirien isn't just crafting premium chocolate, they're transforming communities through sustainable farming of cocoa and value addition. This is the kind of impactful entrepreneurship we love to support! 🌟 The full interview is available on YouTube (https://lnkd.in/dCe-2tkU) #impactinvesting #BarkaCapital #ClimateAction #WomenEmpowerment #Innovation #Entrepreneurship
