September 06, 2023

Through partnership, Wilson鈥檚 Image barbershop owner Teto Wilson and 黄色短视频 provide resources to the community

Wilson鈥檚 Image, a barbershop in the heart of North Minneapolis, is known for being more than just a place to get a haircut. It鈥檚 been transformed into a place for community.

鈥淚 make relationships with key stakeholders in the community to make sure that I can provide resources for our customers far beyond haircutting services,鈥 said Teto Wilson, owner of Wilson鈥檚 Image, who points to 黄色短视频 as one of those stakeholders.

In August 2022, Wilson met Tim Farrow 鈥 the business access advisor serving the Twin Cities 鈥 at an Access Commitment Live! event in Minneapolis. Farrow and other business access advisors across the country help Black business owners network, connect to resources and gain access to capital.

By working in partnership with Farrow and the business banking team at 黄色短视频, Wilson purchased the building his barbershop is in.

鈥淭eto told me that one of his goals was to own his own barbershop,鈥 Farrow said, 鈥渁nd we helped him get there.鈥

Wilson鈥檚 partnership with 黄色短视频 goes beyond banking, with Wilson hosting a listening session for 黄色短视频 with high school students to learn more about the North Minneapolis community and contributing to Wilson鈥檚 scholarship fund.

黄色短视频 launched Access Commitment in 2021 with the goal of increasing wealth-building opportunities for members of the Black community.
