30 years ago today, I fell in love at first sight. 20 years ago, we sealed that love with our marriage. Each year since, our love has grown and evolved in ways I could never have imagined. Thank you for loving me and teaching me to love myself. I can’t wait to spend the next 20 or 30+ years with you. I love you, David (aka Sid) O’Byrne. It takes a circle of love, friends, and family to love this long and hard. Thank you to everyone that’s been on our journey.

Well said, Tracy Gray. This is exactly why we need allies supporting all types of venture capital investors and entrepreneurs, especially in light of recent events. As many of you already know, a US federal court of appeals has suspended Fearless Fund from continuing its grant program for Black female business owners. This ruling highlights the urgent need for support. Learn more about our work and join us at www.allycollab.com.
If you haven’t been following the obscene maneuvering in the US for some folks using systems to block attempts to remedy decades of systemic racism this example is one that needs attention. “A US federal court of appeals panel has suspended Fearless Fund, an Atlanta-based, Black woman-owned venture capitalist firm, from continuing the firm’s Fearless Strivers Grant Contest, a grant program for Black female business owners. In the 2-1 ruling, the panel of three judges, two appointed by Donald Trump and one appointed by Barack Obama, ruled that the grant program “is substantially likely to violate” section 1981 of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1866, which prohibits the use of race in making contracts. The panel of judges ruled that Fearless Fund is unlikely to enjoy first amendment protection and that its program “inflicts irreparable injury”. Full article: https://lnkd.in/gndcypCz The team at Fearless Fund and so many others have been innovating and courageously leading the way to support Black women entrepreneurs. Using this kind of legal action as blatant fear mongering needs to be stopped.
