Mar 04, 2024

Emera has provided $800,000 in funding to organization since 2021

A community organization dedicated to empowering Black and Indigenous entrepreneurship will receive $500,000 over three years from Emera.

That brings total contributions from Emera, the parent company of Nova Scotia Power, to Tribe Network to $800,000 since 2021.

Tribe Network specializes in mentoring and coaching entrepreneurs of colour from its office on Barrington Street in downtown Halifax.

“Access to coaches and people who have done it before, that was something that was lacking for me and something that would have benefited me,” said Alfred Burgesson, founder and CEO of Tribe Network.

His organization now provides those services so clients can get off to a good start and have a better chance for success.

“From the very beginning they’ve been very supportive by encouraging me and connecting me with other business owners,” said Tiffani Young, CEO of Natural Butter Bar, a company based out of Dartmouth that sells natural hair and skin care products.
