Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. Philanthropy Thursday!
Happy Philanthropy Thursday and Black History Month
to our Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. Community!
Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc.’s CEO Kecia Palmer-Cousins, COO Kevin Cousins and the Aero-Ba-Soul, Inc. team hope
that everyone is well, safe and celebrated Black History Month in their own way!

Kecia had a memorable time at this past weekend’s 52nd Annual New York State Association of Black, Puerto Rican,
Hispanic and Asian Legislator’s, Inc. Caucus Weekend in Albany. We will share highlights from the Caucus in next week’s
MWBE Monday newsletter.
Kecia and Kevin paid it forward this past weekend also by working with MWBEs and supporting various philanthropic causes near and dear to their hearts!

Black history is American history!
Black History Month 2023 Theme

Since 1976, every American president has designated February as Black History Month and endorsed a specific theme.

The Black History Month 2023 theme, “Black Resistance,” explores how "African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial pogroms and police killings," since the nation's earliest days.  Check out tomorrow’s Philanthropy Friday for additional Black History regarding this year’s theme!
PHILANTHROPY AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP MWBEs BUILD WEALTH AND CAPACITY!
Many minority and women business enterprise entrepreneurs use their local, County and State Agencies to stay current and tap into potential resources and procurement opportunities for their businesses and their communities. Getting MWBE Certified
and procuring government contracts can help MWBEs build their businesses! Grants, loans, networking, attending training classes, workshops and joining chambers of commerce and professional organizations are also parts of MWBEs portfolios to grow their businesses. We encourage MWBEs to become civically and politically engaged in their communities and the communities that they serve!
