Noire Impact Collective looks to connect people to resources and career opportunities
When Sydney Holman started a position as a staff member of the Illinois Speaker of the House, she noticed there was a lack of representation of people of color and women of color in leadership. She wanted to create an avenue for job opportunities and professional development. She started hosting dinners in Springfield and reached out to her professional network of women of color there.
