Join us for a dynamic and thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the power of Black ownership across industries—from media, fashion, and the arts to banking, stocks, and beyond. "The Business of Being Black" is more than a conversation—it's a call to action.

Together, we’ll unpack how shifting the lens from consumption to creation, from visibility to equity, allows us to reshape our narratives and redefine the culture. Learn from leaders, innovators, and disruptors who are boldly claiming space and building legacy in systems not built for us.

Owning our stories means owning our power. Let’s talk about it.

We’ll explore what it means to challenge traditional systems, honor ancestral knowledge, and create learning spaces where our stories are not just included, but prioritized.

This is more than education—it’s a rebellion for liberation.
