May Member Spotlight

Mark Marsolais-Nahwegahow, founder of Birch Bark Coffee Co. and an Ojibwe entrepreneur from Whitefish River First Nation on Manitoulin Island, has built his business on connection, purpose, and community.

We’re proud to highlight Mark’s journey of leading with intention, sharing knowledge, and creating a path for those walking alongside and behind him. Read more.
