There is one thing most entrepreneurs can agree on – entrepreneurship is hard and building a business is one of the most difficult challenges you will ever take on. How do you manage the seemingly never-ending path of setbacks and roadblocks?
The answer is resilience and a resilient mindset – the ability to adapt in the face of adversity.
Join us for a discussion on resilience and how to weather the inevitable obstacles you will face on your entrepreneurial journey.
Sevetri Wilson is a serial entrepreneur and the Founder of two companies, Solid Ground Innovations (SGI) and, most recently, Resilia, a New Orleans-based technology startup.

She is the first Black woman in New Orleans to raise over $1M in venture capital.
In 2010, she was honored with the Nobel Prize for public service, the Jefferson Award and was featured in the Senate report to the White House on volunteerism in America during the Obama administration.
