Last Saturday morning, The Medium in Springdale was lively with the dynamic energy of diverse entrepreneurs gathering for an engaging and inspiring panel discussion and breakfast event. The driving force behind this motivating assembly was Cureate, a dynamic woman-owned and operated food-tech company dedicated to fostering business development and collaborating with minoritized communities.
The event, a remarkable celebration of entrepreneurship and inclusivity, provided a platform for individuals from diverse backgrounds to share their inspiring journeys and insightful experiences as entrepreneurs. Attendees had the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, gain valuable knowledge, and engage in meaningful conversations that truly reflected the spirit of community and collaboration.
Amanda Arafat, the event host, and Stephanie Kirkpatrick, the owner of Bartleby’s Food, were among the key figures who shared their thoughts and perspectives during the panel discussion.

As entrepreneurs, we have a responsibility to champion inclusivity and create opportunities for individuals from all walks of life to thrive and succeed,” she remarked.
The event also provided attendees with the opportunity to enjoy a delightful breakfast spread, featuring an array of delectable dishes that showcased the culinary expertise of local entrepreneurs. From artisanal pastries to farm-fresh delights, every bite was a testament to the creativity and skill of the diverse individuals who contributed to the event.
Cureate’s commitment to supporting minoritized communities and fostering inclusive entrepreneurship is a shining example of the positive impact that purpose-driven businesses can have on society.
