Our Team
“The best part of =SPACE is that we work hard and celebrate harder. The entire community vibes with each other and supports one another. If someone has a plug, they share it. When one SPACE(r) wins, we come together to give them their flowers. If we need an afrobeats dance break, we take one. We exist to be a space where our members feel seen.”

“We work to create a safe space for people of color to build in and a brave space for Start ups to launch from. We are here to create access and resources for the talent rich and under-betted. We build for you because we are you”

"As a Co-Founder and COO of Equal Space, it's been amazing to see how this space has evolved into a embassy of creativity, innovation, and growth for the communities (Black and Brown women, men, and the LGBTQI+) we serve. I'm proud that I can walk into our space and know that any person who has a dream to succeed or a desire to create can do it under our roof. "

"We are a brave space that pride ourselves on curating programming that not simply inspires entrepreneurs, but also provides skills and resources to improve their startups and small businesses. From full business development courses to photography monetization courses, we provide a well-rounded experience."

“Working for an organization that is so dedicated to the success and growth of others is so refreshing in such a business focused world. Every program =SPACE hosts, every amenity =SPACE adds, every space option =SPACE creates has the community in mind. The work to grow and strengthen the community at every turn is not only admirable, but desperately needed as well. To be so fortunate to work with a team dedicated to this mission is a blessing.”
