Black Visionaries

There's no perfect thing to say, and it's been a wild 48 hours... To our community, take care of yourselves and those around you ???????????? #BlackVisionariesLead

We would like to thank the American Advertising Federation's Mosaic Center for inviting Black Visionaries to this year's Mosaic Awards. The event was an inspiring celebration of trailblazers in advertising who have made a lasting impact through their commitment to diversity and inclusion that we are grateful to have been part of ??

We recently received the question: What is Black Visionaries? Rather than over explaining in a text 200 word description. Here’s a sizzle reel: Reintroducing the Visionaries Community ??

Today we had the distinctive honor of ringing the opening bell at?Nasdaq?! As a community created to amplify Black Professionals, an opportunity like this was further proof that we are forever stronger together.

We ask that you please consider donating to our community fund via the following link: https://lnkd.in/ep4pFfkb #BlackVisionariesLead #BlackBusinessMonth

Aside from the Olympics and amazing Summer weather, August is also Black Business Month! Despite growing at a rate of 30% over the last few years, Black-owned businesses with at least two employees represent only 2.5% of all businesses in the United States.?These businesses are smaller – only 3% have more than 20 employees, with the vast majority having fewer than five employees. As a Black Owned non-profit organization, we rely on crowdfunding and corporate sponsorship to maintain our experiences. We ask that you consider donating this month to the Black Visionaries Community Fund to help us continue delivering dedicated experiences like The Black Visionaries Brunch.
