About

Building the most comprehensive platform to foster deal flow and market intelligence for legacy builders. As Founder and CEO of Black Professionals Network since 2014, I lead a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization committed to fostering economic development and professional growth for Black professionals. Through the creation of four (4) economies and professional development programs and the award-winning Black Professionals Summit, our team focuses on building a national network that connects individuals to opportunities, relationships, and capital to drive wealth and legacy. With over a decade of experience, I’ve also served as Director of FMU's Center for Entrepreneurship, where I developed entrepreneurship strategies, programming, and partnerships to strengthen the local ecosystem. My professional journey reflects a dedication to social entrepreneurship, executive leadership, and the creation of impactful systems that empower communities to thrive.
