Rockflower Welcomes Kevin Powell to the Board of Directors

Rockflower Partners Inc. is delighted to welcome Kevin Powell to the Board of Directors.

Kevin is a civil and human rights activist whose work as an author and speaker has made him one of the most respected political, literary and hip hop voices in America.

Kevin’s upbringing by a single mother in severe poverty in Jersey City brings a unique and distinct element to the work of Rockflower. He understands first-hand why our work to unblock funding to improve the lives of women and girls is so important and values the need for a new economic paradigm based on the logic of mothering.

It is my deep honor to join the Board of Directors for Rockflower. As a male ally, as someone who has two decades-plus of work with men and boys to challenge sexism and sexual violence, I think it incredibly critical to invest in women and girls worldwide, and I am deeply honored, as the child of a poor single mother, to support this vision.

Rockflower Welcomes Mia Haugen to the Board of Directors

Rockflower is delighted to welcome Mia Haugen to the Board of Directors. Mia brings a wealth of experience and perspective through her work as a media executive, an advisor to several non-profits and as an impact investor. 

Building on the success of early stage investments in grassroots civil society organizations and social enterprises improving the lives of women and girls through the framework of the Five Keys, Rockflower is developing a unique fund structure to ensure the flow of capital reaches those with proven efficiency and capacity. We are thrilled Mia will be joining us to add her vision and expertise in achieving these goals. 

I am excited to join the Rockflower Board of Directors, as I have total confidence Tine Ward will deliver on her mission to increase investments in Women and Girls. Gender lens investing is on the rise, and I am grateful to try help shine a light, and drive resources to this incredibly important global challenge.
