Oweesta on the Road: We’ve Wrapped in South Florida

(November 12, 2026) A team from Oweesta received the full Hollywood — or in this case, Fort Lauderdale — treatment. Chrystel Cornelius, President and CEO; Mel Willie, Chief Officer of Strategic Partnerships; and Vincent Grant, Senior Programs Officer, just wrapped a visit to the set of All Access with Andy Garcia where they spoke about the power and impact of Native CDFIs for an upcoming segment of the show. When complete, the production will explore how Native CDFI investments in Indian Country help build Native economic sovereignty.

Enjoy some BTS (Behind the Scenes, for those who are wondering) shots from the set. And learn more about the segment here.
