📣 Exciting Announcement!

At RISE Integrated Sports + Entertainment, our mission is to forge connections between brands and diverse communities through partnerships that are inclusive, sustainable, and powerful.

Today we’re thrilled to unveil our partnership with Speedy Transport for the 5th annual 2024 EvR (Everyone vs. Racism) festival, lighting up Yonge-Dundas Square (soon to be Sankofa Square) on August 24th, 2024!

Created by Speedy Transport as a community building tool, EvR is a vibrant expression of culture and race that invites individuals of all backgrounds to reflect on their role in eradicating societal racism. Through positive messaging conveyed via various art forms, this celebration aims to unite communities, regardless of race, color, or creed. It’s not just an event; it’s a continuation of an important mission and part of a broader vision to extend the EvR program to schools across the GTA.

✨ This year’s event will benefit iDream, a national non-profit organization that empowers BIPOC and traditionally marginalized communities to find and amplify their voice through media. (Learn more about iDream: https://idreamadream.ca/)

We invite synergistic brands, organizations, partners, and allies to join us in creating a space where unity thrives, racism is unequivocally rejected, and diversity is celebrated in all its magnificent richness.

Join us as we weave together the vibrant expression of art and the voices of our wonderfully diverse community to catalyze real and lasting change for a brighter future.

✊🏽✊🏿✊🏾✊🏻✊

We have been fans of Arlan’s since her first book IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME, and we’re so pumped for her next book YOUR FIRST MILLION launching on January 2nd!

Our co-founder Lola .t.small is on Arlan’s book launch team and got to preview a galley copy of the book! Here’s a book synopsis and we’re encouraging everyone to pre-order your copy...because 2024 is coming in HOT! 🔥

“Having lived nearly her entire life below the poverty line before going on to attain wealth and success as an entrepreneur and investor, Arlan Hamilton knows that entrepreneurship is the quickest path to money and power—particularly for those who haven’t had much of it in the past. In Your First Million, she shows how anyone—no matter what they look like or how much money they have—can tap into all the new tools they already have at their disposal to get their million-dollar idea off the ground.

Readers will learn: how to identify unmet needs, raise money, choose the right collaborators, create multiple income streams, and turn their unique knowledge and experience into a profitable businesses—while reinvesting in their communities and empowering others to do the same.

If we can change who gets to decide what new ideas are worthy, and who gets to turn those ideas into reality, not only can we change our own circumstances—we can change the world.”

📚 Available wherever you prefer to order your books.
