Shahir explains what the Minnesota Promise Act aims to impact and what he does at the Neighborhood Development Center. Shahir has helped raise millions to help entrepreneurs and businesses in disinvested/undersupported areas and communities reach their full potential.
He and Sheletta discuss how people can apply for support and what that looks like for those seeking 1-on-1 help. Sheletta asks what people need to do to prepare to apply for the grant because you can’t show up with your ducks all over the place.
