This empowering event was a vibrant gathering of dynamic women from diverse sectors, all united with the common purpose of uplifting and championing black businesses. The day was filled with enlightening discussions, impactful networking, and an atmosphere brimming with positivity and ambition.

We were honored to have Quinn Conyers as our keynote speaker. Quinn, a compelling voice in the business world, captivated us all with her insights and experiences. She shared her journey, offering invaluable advice and strategies that left us all inspired and ready to take on the world. Her words resonated deeply, reminding us of our potential and the power we possess in our voices to shape our futures.
