Diversity

CEEM exists to provide opportunities and support for African-Americans in their entrepreneurial
endeavors. And we ask anyone who is in support of this mission to join us. We model ourselves
after the Civil Rights Movement. Most photographs taken of the leaders of the Civil Rights
Movement include people from many ethnic backgrounds. We intend to be the same.
Equity in opportunity is what we are ghting for, and anyone who believes in that principle is
already in the Movement, and we welcome them to #JoinCEEM!
