"There was a moment upon leaving the venue when everyone at that table felt the eyes of the restaurant locked on them." "If there is such a feeling as walking off the hardwood floor of the NBA Championship Game 7, after hitting the game-winner; I swear this was it!" A petite middle-aged woman, pleasantly asked, “Who do you guys play for”. A little taken aback, I smiled and said “I’m sorry ma’am, we don’t play, we are Black Executive Men. Soon to be 7-Figure earners”. - "I have been fortunate to sit at some pretty impressive tables, that now pale in comparison to the one in the photo." Accomplished, articulate, well-versed, compassionate brothers, with an obvious agenda, to help the next man in any way possible. A three-decade banking executive who educated the table on the struggles of entrepreneurship and the anxiety of starting his very own multifaceted highly successful consultancy. (Vulnerability) A two-pronged (Atlanta/Florida) BEM brother, asking the most in-depth and honest questions you could fathom. Pondering turning down a salary he only dreamed of because it does not align with his morals. (Truth Seeking) Has his very own business, with dozens of employees, a podcast, and a highly requested speaker. By the way, he is a Clark Atlanta University alum and board member. (Unapologetic) A recent Orlando transplant on the cusp of a career change with a relentless drive to not settle, understands the value and expertise he is providing any Fortune 500 company. (Forward Thinking) A risk taker who migrated to Florida to work alongside Mr. Cade. Equally ambitious, poised, and business-minded. (Possibility) A business executive and entrepreneur who shared growing up with a Jamaican father, creating his niche, being accountable as a partner, and willing to do whatever it takes to push the agenda for the next generations. (Generational Wealth) A United States Air Force leader, is less than a year from a major transition to the corporate sector which entails betting on himself. He is going against the status quo that holds millions of brothers back within the Armed Forces. (Resilience) A senior enlisted leader and OS&H management professional. Within four months of joining the BEM community has seen two promotions and created an executive council within his organization. (Optimism) A life coach who' sage advice, wisdom, and understanding from his mouth during the day should have been televised. (Inspirational) The gentlemen at that table and the hundreds of other BEM members have officially issued the clarion call. Interested in joining Black Executive Men Community?
