About Sunshine Foss:Sunshine Foss is a woman of many talents. Born in Brooklyn, New York to St. Lucian parents, Sunshine had the best of both worlds: Brooklyn roots with an upbringing on the beautiful island of St. Lucia – affording her the opportunity to flourish and cultivate the woman she is today. Upon returning to the concrete jungle of New York, Sunshine once again moved – this time to Miami where she pursued her first passion, design. While living in the sunshine state, Sunshine became known in the Miami community as the best kept secret for everything vintage.A new shift in her career followed her return and marrying to Remo Foss; the two pursued a career in real estate – complimenting each other’s talents of sharp business and a keen eye for design. Two kids, available space, and a dream later: Happy Cork Wine and Spirits was born. Sunshine’s love for design greatly influenced the feel and product selection while developing the Brooklyn-based store. From the wood pallet cash wrap to the tree stump hanging display, the store features up-cycled/ recycled merchandise along with an amazing assortment of wine & liquor. Sunshine spared no detail in ensuring Happy Cork is truly a happy place made for the community to find joy upon entering. Unlike other wine and spirits shops within the local community, customers are treated like guests, invited in to ask questions, touch the bottles, and indulge in all the store’s offerings. The mommypreneur is constantly thinking of new ways to ensure the community Happy Cork serves is kept at the center. This commitment to community includes featuring local artists, working with other small businesses to keep the block clean, and hosting events – currently virtual – as a means to continue cultivating beautiful connections amongst the people Happy Cork serves.

BioWith only the funds from his tax return in 2016 Trivelle started The Drive Group and has since grown it into a multi million dollar company. His history of working in start up environments across varying industries helped him to develop the skill of identifying smart risks, and knowing when to step back and when to push forward. After several years working for large organizations such as Davis + Henderson, The Royal Bank of Canada, Genworth, Manulife, and as the Chief Operating Officer for Chelle Service Capital, Trivelle was inspired to start a company that focused on trends and analysis to help businesses achieve consistent cash flow. In the beginning, this kernel of an idea was fueled by his feeling that there must be a better way to do business. That core value is still true of The Drive Group today. The Drive Group has grown from a business consultancy company, to a venture capital and real estate development organization that prides itself on partnering with innovative people and companies.

Bio:Adesola Akindele is a 20-year international serial entrepreneur and novice angel investor who believes that entrepreneurship is the key to economic prosperity, especially for underestimated and under-represented economic groups. As an economist, she is never shy of looking ahead or at the bigger picture, examining key metrics that differentiate success and failure in business ownership and leadership. Adesola is on a mission to help Black & African founders learn how to face their internal and external struggles to overcome the emotional plus socio-economic barriers that hinder economic success, equity, and ownership. Adesola is keen on Pan-African collaboration to foster an exchange of skills, ideas, and solutions. These collaborations are opportunities for startups and investors to learn first hand from mistakes, processes, and resolutions to better products and services that help communities RISE to any challenge and thrive in any environment.
