Reparative Capital As An Investment Strategy: Virtual Salon
Wednesday, September 2, 2026
7 - 8 pm EST
Virtual
Join us for an intimate virtual conversation between Jessica Norwood and Allison Thomas, moderated by Naima, as they examine how reparative capital shows up in real practice through community-led investment, entrepreneurship, and economic justice work across the country.
The conversation will explore how investment decisions shape founders, neighborhoods, and outcomes, and make the case for community care as a legitimate — and proven — investment strategy.
This is a 60-minute gathering for practitioners, investors, philanthropists, and movement builders ready to go deeper.
