Show Notes
Jennifer Grace Jennings, a Goldman Sachs alumna and CEO of Funlayo Grace, has announced a $155 million initiative to boost domestic textile manufacturing, targeting healthcare, hospitality, aviation, sports, and government sectors. The project, launched during Womens History Month, offers on-site childcare supported by federal and state grants. Jennings, with roots in Nigeria and South Carolinas Gullah Geechee community, ties her work to her heritage through the Rebeccas Little Survivors Foundation, which she founded in honor of her late mother. The foundation now oversees the Geechee Kunda Cultural Arts Center and Museum in coastal Georgia. Jennings Assets and Ancestry National Tour, starting in March 2023, aims to connect supply chains with generational wealth across the diaspora.
