It recognizes Phenomenal Hues Global Network for its work empowering minority women-led businesses through coaching, mentorship, and access to capital. The resolution notes that the network has hosted conferences and sponsored women's events, that more than 20 women coaches have provided over 200,000 mentorship and coaching hours, and that this work helps build a new investor class of Black women funding minority-led companies. It names founder Donnetta Wells and several coaches. The House directs its Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the organization.
