Philadelphia entrepreneurs: tomorrow, we’re building, connecting, and investing in Black business. 🖤💛
I’m excited to participate in The Black August Summit, presented by Mom Your Business, on Friday, August 28, 2026, representing SourceWorthy™.
This isn’t just another networking event. It’s an opportunity for founders to strengthen the infrastructure behind their businesses through capital, capacity, connection, coaching, visibility, and community.

Why supporting local businesses matters
When we support local entrepreneurs, we aren't simply making a purchase. We're helping businesses build capacity, create jobs, circulate dollars within our communities and develop the infrastructure required to compete for larger opportunities.
Small businesses don't need performative applause.
They need customers. Contracts. Capital. Connections.
That distinction matters.
💡 3 Things to Know About SourceWorthy™ Fractional CPO Services
1️⃣ We bring enterprise-level procurement strategy to growing businesses.
SourceWorthy™ provides Fractional Chief Procurement Officer leadership without requiring a company to hire a full-time C-suite procurement executive.
2️⃣ We help businesses become contract-ready—not simply opportunity-aware.
We assess procurement readiness, sourcing strategy, supplier positioning, certifications, capability, processes and the operational gaps that can prevent a company from successfully pursuing and executing contracts.
3️⃣ We focus on sustainable growth after the contract is won.
Winning the opportunity is only part of the equation. Businesses also need the systems, suppliers, processes and procurement discipline necessary to deliver, scale and protect margin.
That's what being SourceWorthy™ is about.
