Kim Baker
KB Flower Farm
All I learned about the business part I owe to the WBC because I went to classes on things I didn't even know I’d need — but I needed it all. I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am right now without the help of ECDI and the WBC.
Dána M Langford
Village of Healing
They have a space for women to be able to get help. The biggest thing they helped us with was our business plan. Diego from the WBC walked us through a business plan like newborn babies. I don’t think Village of Healing would be the same without Diego. So the WBC has been a game-changer.
Michelle Madison
Nurturing Excellence Child Enrichment Center
"I had a business on paper but had no idea how to make it practical. The WBC was crucial to the fact that Nurturing Excellence was able to open. My friends at the WBC were my biggest cheerleaders."
