Momentum: Gables Business Inclusion Program

January 23, 2025 - 12:00 pm

Tamika Bickham of TB Media Group and Chair of the DEI Committee for the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, partnered with Amerant Bank to host the first luncheon for new Chamber members, who are a part of the Chamber’s first cohort of Momentum: Gables Business Inclusion Program. This new initiative supports minority and Black-owned businesses by providing critical knowledge, access, and resources needed to grow their businesses.

This initiative, which is supported and sponsored by Amerant Bank in partnership with the Gables Chamber, hosted the luncheon Momentum In Motion at their Coral Gables branch. Their presentation discussed topics including access to capital, actionable financial strategies, and opportunities to build trusted partnerships. 

Throughout the lunch and discussion, Momentum members, Chamber members, and ambassadors gained valuable insights and practical steps that these entrepreneurs can take to secure funding for their businesses.

The event ended on an exciting note when one of the program participants, Khia Joseph of ThemeIT Events, was announced by Chamber CEO Mark Trowbridge as the vendor to plan the Chamber’s 100th Year Anniversary Gala! This moment reflects the mission of Momentum, and proof that the program is a working and valuable measure to create new inclusive opportunities for local business owners.

A second Momentum luncheon is in the works to further empower and support more minority and Black-owned businesses, setting the stage for even greater achievements to come!
