Creating Conscious Collisions Chicago

Soton Rosanwo, Founder/CEO of Centinel, shared her powerful perspective at Creating Conscious Collisions in Chicago on July 18, 2024. She spoke about the unique challenges faced by women of color entrepreneurs, including the need to constantly prove themselves and the pressure to bring in someone who "doesn't look like me" to grow their companies.

Soton emphasized the importance of community and connection, noting how meeting other entrepreneurs with similar experiences offers valuable insights on overcoming challenges. She also highlighted the critical role of connections, whether with potential investors or business partners, in driving growth. As she put it, "Knowledge truly is power, and it’s in that community that you can access the knowledge of others and share your own." See the highlights here.
