Erika Righter is a social worker-turned small business owner, consultant, community advocate, and Mom. Her work in the social services field included the foster care system, rural social work, and programs serving low income older adults. In 2012, Erika founded Hope Tank, a community space and gift store that gives back in Denver. Hope Tank uses retail to connect customers to justice-focused organizations, artists, micro businesses, and groups doing important work in our community. That Hope Lady Consulting works with businesses, nonprofits, and leaders to identify their values, put them into action, and articulate them to their clients, customers, donors, and investors. In response to constant calls for introductions to BIPOC, LGBTQ, and women-owned businesses, in 2017 Erika started the Go Big For Small Biz Inclusive Guide- a searchable directory as well as a growing community of micro businesses owners who use mutual aid to fill in the gaps for resources available to them. She views the micro business community as an integral part of building and sustaining healthy communities, and devotes a large part of her efforts towards uplifting their contributions.
