Huge congratulations to Mara Cunningham, owner of Yo Crash, on her graduation from the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women Black in Business Cohort Nine. This achievement reflects years of hard work, resilience, and a commitment to building a stronger business and community.

Through the Minority Business Assistance Center at YBI, Regional Director Tanisha Wheeler has supported Mara with guidance on capital readiness, business planning, and strategic growth. MBAC exists to help entrepreneurs navigate challenges, strengthen their operations, and access the resources they need to move forward. Mara’s success shows what is possible when determination meets the right support system.

We are proud to celebrate Mara and honored to be part of her journey. Her growth represents the strength and creativity of Youngstown’s small business community.

Procurement can sound complicated, but at its core, it is how organizations buy what they need.

Schools, cities, state organizations, healthcare systems, transportation organizations, and other large buyers need vendors.

Your business may already provide a product or service they are looking for.

The key is understanding where to find opportunities, how the process works, what documents may be needed, and how to show up prepared.

That is why we are hosting The Connector.

Join us on September 23 at the Main Library in Downtown Youngstown to learn the systems, meet the people, and better understand how procurement can help your business grow.
If you’re ready to get support with your business, connect with the Youngstown Regional MBAC at YBI today.

Call 330-746-5003 to learn where to start.

Getting certified is a big step.

But it is not the finish line.

Certification can help your business become more visible for contracts, supplier diversity programs, vendor opportunities, and business resources.

But after approval, you still need a plan.

You need to know who to connect with, what opportunities to pursue, how to present your business, and how to follow up consistently.

At MBAC, we help business owners understand the certification process and what to do after they get certified.

If you are certified, or thinking about certification, connect with MBAC to learn where to start.
