National Black MBA Association - Raleigh/Durham Chapter

We’re just a few days away from the Duke University - The Fuqua School of Business BBSA Thrive Conference on Saturday, March 29 at Fuqua, and it’s shaping up to be something special. The day will feature conversations with entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders who are doing the work—whether it’s building companies, backing founders, or creating space at the intersection of business, culture, and innovation. We’ll be talking about: - What it really takes to raise capital and scale as a founder. - The role of investment and innovation in Africa’s economic future. - How sports and media are driving new models of ownership. We’re also excited to welcome Oris Stuart, former Chief DEI Officer at the NBA, as our keynote. If you're interested in business, impact, or just want to be in the room with people pushing things forward, this your moment. Date: Saturday, March 29 Registration: www.thriveatfuqua.com

The WSJ sparked a debate: MEI vs. DEI. We embrace Merit, Excellence, and Intelligence (MEI), but it's hollow without equitable access. True meritocracy requires addressing systemic inequities. Like in sports, where merit reigns, the corporate world should champion fair opportunity for all. Let's build a system where talent, not privilege, dictates success. Read more about our stance.
