Danielle St. Luce: What Small Business Owners Need to Know about Lenders During COVID-19
On today's episode, I interview Danielle St. Luce. Danielle works for BBIF Florida, a statewide Community Development Financial Institution, as their Regional Director in the South Florida market. Her focus is on financing and educating underbanked clients throughout the Miami metro area.
Danielle will talk about what underserved small business owners need to know about accessing capital loans during the pandemic. Sadly, many small businesses are being left behind during the pandemic and need to understand how to best financially navigate the crisis.
Danielle spent her college years in Togo, West Africa where she completed her baccalaureate before moving to the United States for university. After graduating from Cornell University with her bachelor’s degree in Industrial and Labor Relations, she returned to the South Florida area to work in the non-profit world. Before working in finance, she started in education and moved to the arts. She has continued working with small arts organizations in the Overtown area as a consultant specializing in educating small teams in operations and sales.
In work and in life, Danielle consistently seeks individuals and institutions working towards creating equity in an inequitable world. Both professionally and personally, she finds herself involved with working groups focused on a range issues from Opportunity Zones to facilitating dialogue among divergent groups.
