The work of many women who help to build our community often go unnoticed. I will be doing a series of blogs to recognize the work of some exceptional women in my community and their impact on my life.
Sijolie Braham is the founder and president of the
Caribbean Chamber of Commerce in Houston. As a leader in the Carribean
community of Houston, she uses her platform to educate members of the Caribbean
community, especially small business owners on their rights and
responsibilities while doing business in Houston, and how to equip themselves
to survive in today’s society where skills like computer literacy, knowledge of
e-commerce and networking with Houston’s diverse international community.
As President of the Caribbean Chamber of Commerce in
Houston, Ms Braham is very active in the Caribbean community. To promote the
mission of the Caribbean Chamber of Commerce of Houston which is “Advocating the Economic Interests and
Development of Caribbean Communities in Texas,” she hosts regular meetings,
workshops, networking events and Caribbean themed events. She also participates
in community development activities by
other organizations such as The Jamaica Foundation of Houston, Missouri city
Domino Club, Houston Caribbean festival and many others.
Ms Braham’s mission of serving the community is exemplary
to the Caribbean community, especially it’s youth. She works everyday towards
seeing her vision of the Caribbean small business owners realizing the
resources available to them, recognizing the quiet revolution taking place in
the new international commerce center of Houston and taking advantage of the resources.
Ms Braham continues to work towards educating and equipping Caribbean nationals
with the tools necessary to survive in Houston which is rapidly expanding and
developing to accommodate the exponential growth of diversity. This growth in
diversity will then promote even more opportunities for trade between caribean
small businesses and organizations and countries all over the world. Ms Braham is
never too busy to inform individuals who seek her advice on how they can learn
the skills required.
