Join us for a conversation with our regenerative champion, Donnetta Boykin.

Donnetta speaks with gratitude about support from the city of Dayton and the wealth of knowledge through skill-shares. Yet, despite these bright spots, Donnetta is candid about the frustrating barriers in navigating the complex and often discouraging grant application process.
