Hawk Arrow’s Post

We’re excited to announce the next journey ahead for our fearless leader Jocelyne! 🙋🏾♀️ She's been chosen for the Fall 2024 cohort of Santander's Cultivate Small Business program. It's all about empowering small, woman, and minority owned food businesses like ours. We’re over the moon and thankful for this chance to develop the Original Pulled Oxtail Meat™️ and bring an innovative product to market! Eager to connect with other entrepreneurs and soak up knowledge. Here's to 12 weeks of growth and new possibilities for MTV and The Original Pulled Oxtail LLC! 🌱🍽️ #SantanderBank #FoodEntrepreneur #SmallBusinessGrowth #WomenInBusiness #BIPOCOwned #MiamiFoodie #NetworkingOpportunities #GrowthMindset #SmallBusinessSupportt #FoodIndustry #BusinessDevelopment #WomenEmpowerment #SmallBizTips #EntrepreneurshipProgram #MeatTheVeggies #miamiblackbusinessowners #miamibusiness #chefowned #blackfoodie #blackexcellence #babsoncollege

https://lnkd.in/e9FKskEx What a tremendous gesture! There should be more business leaders like this--not only putting his money where his mouth is, but providing a great example and message. When you are successful due to hard work, it's a blessing that should be passed forward because there are multitudes of people who work just as hard, but for whatever reason did not reach the same level of success. Thank you Robert Hale.

What a great day at the course! Approximately 100 golfers raising money to support AUSA Suncoast Chapter's 249th Army Ball next month. Delicious lunch from MISSION BBQ, an inspirational message from Leslie C. Smith, Lieutenant General, US Army retired about the impact we can all have on young people, and some great prizes. Congratulations to Jermon Bafaty for winning the gift pack Hawk Arrow donated featuring products from Tommy Bahama, Maui Jim Sunglasses and OluKai. We look forward to next month's ball and we'll be back for next year's tourney! Always fun to work with Marilyn Westropp, Martha Diaz, MS, and Olga Alcaraz!

Had the pleasure of attending Habitat For Humanity of Hillsborough County FL Inc.’s kickoff for this year’s Women’s Build. Such inspiring stories of women finding a hand UP to help take care of their families. Even more exciting is that as a community partner of AUSA Suncoast Chapter, Hawk Arrow, was able to help bring these two organizations together to work on this year’s Veterans Build as we look to help female veterans in their search for affordable housing. Looking forward to working with Marilyn Westropp, Martha Diaz, MAJ (R) MS, Callie Lupica and Nitza Rivera - MBA, CAPS on this project!

Attending Society of American Military Engineers Tampa Bay Post Joint Training and Education Day. Some great opportunities and excited to Olga Alcaraz of our own Xelsior Empowerment Group sworn in as an officer. #XelsiorGroup

Great week working in DC with USPAACC and Kirk Gimenez. Back home and excited to working with Habitat For Humanity of Hillsborough County FL Inc. with volunteers from The Portico. Thanks to Hyde Park United Methodist and Rev. Justin LaRosa, LCSW for your leadership in helping those who need homes, both financially and through sweat equity. Mindi Vaughan your story still inspires all of us to be out here!

Thanks for the great service as always, robbie robinson. I also appreciate you taking such good care of my friend, Kirk Gimenez. If you need a safe, reliable, friendly, and professional car service when you're in DC, you can't do better than Robbie and his Loveable Little Car service. #DCsbestcarsevice

https://lnkd.in/eXv9R9ji Excellent article. This is exactly why it's called "servant leadership". You are there to serve/help those on your team so that you can collectively and individually reach your full potential. Being there and, more importantly, being present, is half the battle.

Humbled to have led yesterday's breakfast at The Portico where we fed nearly 150 persons without shelter or are in need. We had over 30 awesome volunteers who made everyone feel welcome and wanted. If you are seeking a way to help those in need in Tampa, come check us out as it is our mission to help those who need food and shelter, both immediately and long-term. Rev. Justin LaRosa, LCSW leads this wonderful organization. #endhomelessness #nourishyourheartandsoul

As I sit here keeping one eye on my turkey in the oven and the other on the football game, I am reminded of how fortunate I am and the many things I am grateful for on this day of thanks. While I have many personal blessings (beautiful family, wonderful friends, comfortable home), here I want to express how wonderful it is to have a chance to pursue my own professional path through my work with Hawk-Arrow. I am thankful for my business partners, Brian and Arlander, who are pursuing this dream with me. We appreciate the clients who have trusted us to deliver results for them--we hope your faith in us has been rewarded and we look forward to our continued relationship with you. The team at both the NMSDC and USPAACC have been very helpful and we are excited to be affiliated with both. Lastly, I am amazed by the spirit and strength of the many small business owners I have met on this entrepreneurial journey. Your friendship and generosity are boundless and you truly are the backbone of this country. A special shout out to my amigos in the MBEempowerment group, you know who you are and we are going to do great things together. Hawk-Arrow wishes a safe and happy Thanksgiving to all.
