Jessica Norwood is an author, entrepreneur, investor, artist, and philanthropist who has spent her career exploring how money can be an expression of repair and spiritual care. As the founder and CEO of RUNWAY, she leads alongside a powerhouse team of women of color committed to resourcing Black founders by providing start-up capital and nurturing their ongoing success. Jessica is widely recognized for her financial activism and commitment to leadership and learning, including being a winner of the prestigious Nathan Cummings Foundation Fellowship and a lifelong fellow of the Sanford School of Public Policy at Duke University and Southern University College of Business for Emerging Leaders. Her leadership in these programs has deeply informed groundbreaking work on restorative and reparative economies and Black entrepreneurship. Jessica’s work has been profiled on NPR and Bloomberg Television and Essence Magazine, Next City, Fast Company, and Conscious Company. New York Times best-seller Edgar Villanova, author of Decolonizing Wealth, considers believe-in-you money the “medicine” modern philanthropy and investment need. Jessica was raised in Alabama, where she continues to work. Her career and approach to reparative economics have been deeply informed by her roots in Chicago, Oakland, and Boston. She lives in Kingston, Jamaica, where she continues to deepen her commitment and investment in Black joy and liberation across the diaspora. Having lived all over the world, Jessica has found that her heart sings most when at the beach, next to big water.
