We’re proud to share that our executive director, Heather Fleming, has been named one of the top "Builders" in the @eamesinstitute's Curious 100! At Change Labs, “building” means more than our brick & mortar E-ship Hubs—it’s about building Native economies, building a community, and building up Native change makers who in turn build generational wealth within our communities. This recognition is a reflection of the incredible work being done with and by Native entrepreneurs across our communities. They are the visionaries, the risk-takers, and the foundation of a more just and thriving future. #NativeEntrepreneurs are not just a part of the economy—we are rebuilding it from the ground up. ?????♀? #Curious100 #IndigenousInnovation #ChangeLabs #EntrepreneurshipOnNativeLand #GenerationalWealth #EamesInstitute.

As an entrepreneur, starting something new can feel uncertain. The path ahead may not always be clear, but as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. so powerfully reminded us, 'Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.' #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #Entrepreneurship #Inspiration #MLKday #SmallBusiness #KeepGoing
