Adebanke Disu-Adebara, the owner of Laghos African Kichentte in Regina, was one of five successful black entrepreneurs who participated in the panel discussion on Saturday afternoon.
“It's just for us to come together, let people know through the difficulties and everything we go through, we are still standing. We all can do it. You just have to put your mind to it,” Disu-Adebara explained.
Brunch was also served at the event orchestrated by Jules Epalley, who is a business specialist in the Queen City.
This is the first time the event is being held in Regina and the organization is hoping that the event promotes an inclusive environment.
“There are so many cultures and so many countries in Africa and here in Canada its multiculturalism,” Epalley explained. “So we try to be open to other communities and learn from them.”
Disu-Adebara is thankful an event like the panel discussion shows just how much support black entrepreneurs receive.
