This is a brilliant second meetup, @Alex_Jefferson The circle took the exact step I hoped for after your launch… you went from a broad list of themes to one locked winnable issue with a plan behind it. Choosing digital literacy for small business owners in Watt Market, a specific skill gap, for a specific group, in a specific place, is precisely what a winnable issue should look like. Smart partnership moves too! Calabar is moving exactly right. Excited for September :raising_hands:
