ACCE$$ TO CAPITAL

"CONNECTING LOCAL BUSINESSES TO CASH"



Far Rockaway, NY, Saturday, January 10, 2026 (10 AM - 2 PM) Ca$H DA$H ON THE ROCK, a grassroots collective, will host a Meet the Lenders event, ACCE$$ TO CAPITAL.

Small Business owners, Micro entrepreneurs and Startup Entrepreneurs will meet at the Peninsula Preparatory Academy, located at 16 - 11 Beach 19th Street in Downtown Far Rockaway for ACCE$$ TO CAPITAL +, a free event hosted by CA$H DA$H ON THE ROCK.

Designed to support the Small Business Owners of the Rockaway Peninsula to successfully get the money and services they need for their businesses. The ACCE$$ TO CAPITAL + event will bring together Alternative Lenders, Banks, CDFIs (Community Development Funding Institutions), Credit Unions, Crowdfunding, Micro and Online Lenders, all in one place, along with attorneys, CPA's and Tax, Insurance and Marketing Professionals.

"Connecting our local business community DIRECTLY with decision-makers -- consumers, funding or professional resources, is at the heart of what we do," said Gail Johnson, co-founder of CA$H DA$H ON THE ROCK.

"A lot of the Small Businesses on the Peninsula are not aware these resources even exist, and this event is the perfect way to bridge that gap," said Aiysha Simon, co-founder of CA$H DA$H ON THE ROCK.

Thinking of launching a startup, building out a home-based business or expanding an established business, ACCE$$ TO CAPITAL, will provide invaluable primary access points to funding, financing, freemiums and lasting connections - - at no cost to the attendees.

As Kamau Austin, Founder and Co-Founder of the Southeast Queens Scoop, notes, the urgency of capital access cannot be overstated.  Austin asks “How can we talk about a fair and equitable society within a capitalist system if our community’s businesses are systematically denied access to capital?” The question underscores the core mission of Ca$h Da$H on the Rock—ensuring Black and POC entrepreneurs are not only included in economic growth, but positioned to lead it.

Come Early. Leave Late.

About Ca$h Da$H on the Rock

Ca$h Da$H On The Rock is a Far Rockaway–based business empowerment organization committed to strengthening the financial viability and long-term sustainability of Black-owned and BIPOC-led businesses in Southeast Queens. Co-founded by community leaders Gail Johnson, Aiysha Simon, and Roni Anderson, the organization was created to address longstanding gaps in access to capital, financial education, and business infrastructure that have historically limited economic growth in the Rockaways.

Through initiatives such as the Acce$$ To Capital! Forum, Ca$h Da$H on the Rock advances its mission by convening entrepreneurs, financial experts, policy advocates, and community stakeholders to explore practical strategies for business growth, capital access, and equitable development. The organization’s work is especially timely as Far Rockaway—home to approximately 55,000 residents, the majority of whom identify as Black or Latino—enters a new phase of redevelopment, including projects like Arverne East and broader downtown revitalization efforts.

Ca$h Da$H On The Rock ensures that local entrepreneurs are not left out of this progress by equipping them with knowledge, connections, and resources to compete and thrive in a rapidly changing economic landscape. Rooted in collaboration, education, and community wealth-building, the organization is helping to transform Far Rockaway’s entrepreneurial potential into lasting economic power.

Author Max Miller Releases
New Self-Help Book
“Blame It on the Feel of Pain”
About Detangling From Past Pain

Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.

The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.

Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!
