Event Highlights

  • After the uprising and killing of George Floyd, we hope to bring everyone together to find solutions on how we can change the socio-economic status of Blacks in Minnesota.

Accepting Donations

  1. Our mission is to change the socio-economic status of Blacks through awareness, healthy living, strong-business partnerships, business & skill-build training, and decreasing the racial wealth gap through ownership. 
  2. Our vision is to bring this event platform to 59 cities across the United States.  For a list of those cities please click on the link below. 
  3. Our long-term goals include building BOB Marketplaces and Virtual Offices Nationwide.
