Yesterday on Good Day Seattle, Jazz, filling in for Besa Gordon, featured Denkyem Co-op. This Black-led financial institution provides support to Black-owned businesses. Jazz appeared on FOX 13 Seattle for her second consecutive week.

Denkyem Co-Op offers revenue-based loans to Black businesses, giving entrepreneurs flexibility to focus on their business strategy and community influence. Established in 2018, the co-op aims to combat funding inequities for Black businesses.

During the segment, a video clip of Denkyem Co-Op CEO Dion Cook played. He discussed the organization's "Third Thursday" events, which offer networking opportunities. Cook stressed the importance of funding for growth, referencing large corporations, and highlighted their revenue-based loans with repayment tied to business health.

Jazz noted that the "Third Thursday" events allow entrepreneurs to network and present their businesses.

Jazz also announced Denkyem Co-Op's partnership with Back2Besa for the #SupportBlackBusiness campaign, extending Black business spotlights through June.
