Nebraska Black Women United hosts finance event in Downtown Omaha

At CHI Health Center, hundreds of women gathered to learn more about building their businesses, networking and getting more capital.

Business owner and community leader, Sherrye Hutcherson wants to improve the lives of women around her.

"The goal is, is that if they don't have to go through things that we've gone through that weren't so positive, we can save them from that," Hutcherson said.

She hopes women are thinking about these questions.

"What are some things that could make it easier for them? How do you gain capital? How do you build your networks? If you have an issue, who do you go to?" Hutcherson said.
