Sacramento’s Kwame Anku has been awarded the inaugural “Entrepreneur of the Year” award by the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce. This is a momentous occasion for both Anku and Sacramento, as this is an honor that has never been bestowed upon anyone in 128 years of operation.

He believes that investing in these organizations will help create economic stability and prosperity within disadvantaged communities, while also providing opportunities for those who have traditionally lacked access to resources or funding from larger institutions.
