Saturdays are perfect for podcasts. Got a few minutes this morning? Give this a listen.

I was invited to be the very first guest on Gloria Ware 's new show, Capital Remix Podcast — and honestly, still humbled by that.

Gloria is renowned in all things capital access so you know Gloria + Me = 🔥🔥🔥 It's an episode you can't miss.

Access to capital isn't just about getting approved. 💡

It's about trust. Strategy. Education.

Knowing what to do with the money once you have it.

Capital without strategy = more problems.

Capital + knowledge = growth.

A few clips are up already — go watch the full convo 💪🏽

Please join us in welcoming our two new Data Scholars, Shayna Haynes and Dianna-Grace Nelson, to the Bankably.app team! 🎉👏🏽🙌🏽

Shayna is a rising senior at John Carroll Catholic High School John Carroll Catholic High, and Dianna-Grace is at Troy University Troy University (Class of 2027) — and now in Week 3 of their Bankably Alabama Data Scholars internships, these two have already jumped into real work: data evaluations, analytics, and dashboard implementation across our Bankably™ platform. This week, they're joining us at Sloss Tech — soaking up Birmingham's best in tech and innovation.

And the timing is fitting. As a Certified B Corp, TMB Tax & Financial Services Benefit Corporation is on a mission to democratize small business financial literacy and access to capital — and Bankably™ is how we put that within reach for founders the system too often overlooks.

So Shayna and Dianna-Grace aren't just building dashboards. They're sharpening the tools that help everyday business owners get funded. And it's not all behind the screen — this week they're meeting the very business owners Bankably™ is built to serve. 💪🏽

Major thanks to QuantHub, Innovate Alabama, and all the sponsors of the Alabama Data Scholars Program.

We're excited to take part for another year in such an outstanding talent and workforce development pipeline.

Welcome to the team — we're glad you're building it with us. 🛠️🙌🏽

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 It's official! To now step into the role of Director is not something I take lightly. It's an honor, a responsibility, and a full-circle moment.

I came in as an Instructor believing in what this center could be — and now I get to help build what it becomes. As a business owner myself, rooted in a family legacy of entrepreneurship, I know firsthand what access to the right support can mean.

I am deeply committed to leading the next phase of business development and financial empowerment — equipping entrepreneurs with the strategies, resources, and capital access they need to build businesses that last.

Let's goooooo.

Miles College is pleased to announce Talibah M. Bayles as the next Director of the Miles College Women’s Business Center.

Since the Center’s inception in 2022, she has contributed to its work as an instructor and leader, helping entrepreneurs strengthen their financial systems, prepare for funding, and build sustainable businesses.

In this new role, Bayles will lead the Center’s continued work as a regional hub for entrepreneurship, expanding training opportunities, deepening community partnerships, and supporting business owners throughout Birmingham and the surrounding region.

Please join us in congratulating Talibah M. Bayles as she steps into this leadership role.
