What happens when passion, purpose, and entrepreneurship come together? You create opportunities that transform lives.
In this inspiring episode, Ingrid Centurion sits down with Roxana Massie, founder of the Spanglish Small Business Association (SSBA), to discuss how business can become one of the most powerful tools for uniting cultures, strengthening communities, and creating economic opportunity.
As Charleston's Hispanic population continues to grow, so does the need for entrepreneurs to have access to education, connections, visibility, and strategic partnerships. Roxana shares her vision of building a bridge between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking business owners, ensuring that every entrepreneur has the opportunity to be seen, heard, and empowered.
The conversation explores how SSBA is creating a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem through networking, collaboration, media exposure, business education, and mentorship. Listeners will discover the exciting initiatives that are helping small businesses grow, including:
- Latina Pitch Live – A dynamic bilingual entrepreneur showcase where business owners present their ideas, products, and services before community leaders, judges, sponsors, and strategic partners.
- The Spanglish Connector Business Accelerator Workshops – Monthly workshops featuring networking, marketing strategies, business education, media exposure, and collaboration opportunities.
Throughout the interview, Roxana reminds us that success isn't built alone—it is built through relationships, collaboration, and a willingness to lift others as we climb. Every connection has the potential to open a new door, every conversation can create a partnership, and every entrepreneur has something valuable to contribute.
Whether you're launching your first business, growing an established company, or simply looking to expand your network, this episode will inspire you to think bigger, connect deeper, and become part of a movement that is strengthening Charleston's business community—one relationship at a time.
The future belongs to those who show up, build relationships, and create opportunities for others.
Listen. Connect. Collaborate. Grow.
