Equiliberty

Philip Yates’ words that moved the room 🔥 June 26 was more than a session — it was a shift. “A Dream Backed by Community” brought the gems we needed to hear. He didn’t just speak, he sparked action. Real game was given. Key takeaways: 🔹 Have a Vision 🔹 Understand Currency 🔹 Secure Mentorship (Advisor. Coach. Sponsor.) 🔹 Ownership is the Goal 🔹 Know Your Bankability & Investability We left with clarity, confidence, and community. 💼💡 And if you haven’t read it yet, “Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun?” was the book drop of the day. equilibertyinc Presented by Howard University x PNC National Center for Entrepreneurship – Southwest Region, serving HBCU students and small business owners in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Texas. #DreamsToDollars #PhillipYates #EntrepreneurMindset #HowardPNC #BlackExcellence #FromVisionToOwnership
