📅 Cohort 1 began August 9, 2026 - Follow the Journey on Social Media
Online + In-Person Events · Founding Cohort
On-demand certification + live cohort touchpoints. No real estate background required.
You manage other people's projects. When do you build your own?
Talented professionals across Miami and other cities are coordinating projects, leading classrooms and programs, managing budgets, and executing other people's visions every single day while their own neighborhoods get rebuilt around them with no seat at the table.
You've thought about real estate. Maybe you've even taken a course. But you got fragmented information with no clear next steps, no real access, and no community of people doing it alongside you.
We Raise the Roof was built to change that. You don't need a real estate background. You need curiosity, commitment and a community.
What you get in a We Raise the Roof Cohort
Everything you need to go from RE-curious to certified community co-developer in 8 weeks.
Real Cohort Community
You're not doing this alone. A private cohort community connects you with your fellow co-developers throughout the 8 weeks.
Zoom Kickoff Session
Week 1 begins together. A live Zoom kickoff orients the cohort, sets expectations, and makes sure you're set up for success.
Expert Guest Session
A real developer, lender, or city planner joins your cohort mid-program for a live session that no textbook can replicate.
Real Site Site Tour
Get on the ground. Your cohort tours a real development project — because seeing it changes everything.
Graduation + Co-Investment Preview
Complete your certification and get an exclusive first look at the co-investment opportunities and other resources available to We Raise the Roof graduates.
Certificate of Completion
Earn your We Raise the Roof certification upon completing all 7 modules. This is your credential as a trained community co-developer.
Designed Around Real Life
On-demand modules mean you learn on your schedule. Live events are spaced throughout the 8 weeks and announced in advance.
Built by someone who's been in the room...
Dr. Egheosa Igbinoba — known as Dr. E — holds Columbia University construction management certifications and a doctorate in education leadership. She is a graduate of the Central FL Urban Land Institute -REDi Program, serves in national leadership with NABWIC (The National Association of Black Women in Construction) and has spent her career at the intersection of education, community, tech and construction.
She built We Raise the Roof because too many talented professionals are coordinating other people's visions while their neighborhoods get rebuilt around them. The platform's core commitment is development without displacement — EVERY TIME.
We Raise the Roof isn't just a course. It's a community, a certification and a pathway to co-investing in real projects that matter.
