How an Anishinaabe entrepreneur is thriving
Also on the show this week — how an Anishinaabe business owner is using an interest-free loan to make steroid-free cream to treat eczema.
Patrice Mousseau received the loan for her company Satya Organic Skin Care from SHEeo, a venture capital group that supports women entrepreneurs.
She's one of five women with successful business plans who were chosen to make their dreams become a reality.
Gearing up for the games
