To mark this milestone, RUNWAY Roots will be hosting three exclusive invite-only events in Chicago, a key market for our mission and vision. These events will reflect on the organization's past accomplishments, celebrate its present achievements, and share a compelling vision for the future.
The evolution from RUNWAY to RUNWAY Roots is a testament to the organization's commitment to systemic change, rooted in accountability, clarity, and a deep dedication to uplifting businesses in historically Black communities. Through strategic partnerships with financial institutions and innovative initiatives like the Entrepreneur Universal Basic Income pilot, RUNWAY Roots has demonstrated a unique approach to financial empowerment that prioritizes community well-being.
Founded by Jessica Norwood, RUNWAY Roots embodies an ethos that is both grounded and visionary. The organization's journey from its inception to the launch of The ROOTED Fund showcases a legacy of resilience, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to building a more just and liberated future for all.
"The transition from RUNWAY to RUNWAY Roots represents our unwavering commitment to creating a financial ecosystem that uplifts and empowers entrepreneurs who are building wealth in Black communities. Our journey has been shaped by a deep sense of responsibility and a relentless pursuit of justice, and we are excited to embark on this next chapter of transformative impact," says co-founder and CEO Jessica Norwood.
By launching as RUNWAY Roots, the organization aims to deepen its core values of reimagination, reclamation, relationship, and repair. The rebranding not only reflects the company's evolution but also strengthens its position as a leader in community wealth-building and financial innovation.
