Black Visionaries

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 🚨

🚨 Calling all changemakers, advocates, and multi-hyphenates 🚨 We all know that with growth comes bigger opportunities! As a result, we're officially looking for volunteers to help support our cause to create spaces for Black Professionals. Some roles we're looking to fill are: 1. Graphic Designers 2. PR and Marketing Communications 3. Business Development & Partnerships If you or someone you know may be interested in the above roles or other potential areas, please sign up here: https://lnkd.in/ewndksib

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. This was indeed a #BlackBusinessMonth to remember, and it’s thanks to all of you for making these moments possible. We don’t think we could be any more ready for Founder’s Day this year!

We started the day off just right! Proud to have such an amazing team!

Today is national #Nonprofit day, and while we continue celebrating our fellow entrepreneurs during Black Business Month, we’d also like to share some highlights for the Visionaries Community! None of this is possible without our passionate team of Visionaries who pour their energy into this organization. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) we rely on our community and brand partners for funding. We ask that you please consider donating to our community fund via the following link: https://lnkd.in/ep4pFfkb #BlackVisionariesLead #BlackBusinessMonth

Join the Black Visionaries team for our 2nd annual fundraising mixer on 9/12 in NYC, where we’ll give our community their flowers while celebrating the entrepreneurs and changemakers all around us. In addition to fundraising for our community, we're donating a portion of the proceeds to a local charity! Join us and our partners The Black Linkup, LEVELUP in NYC & Taste of Sounds for an evening of connection! This event is open to all so bring your networking partner with you. Did we mention there will be a raffle giveaway? Sounds curated by the one and only DJ SimbaZilla and photos will be captured by Sunday Bamgbose & pocstock RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/eVcPwGjV

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. Please use the following link for donations: https://lnkd.in/efPZjBXk

Happy Juneteenth to the changemakers and dreamers! We know one of the most important parts of building community is finding spaces for you to meet your people, and we wanted to shout out a few of our favorite Juneteenth celebrations in the US. Do something that warms your spirit and most of all... Buy Black! #BlackLinkedIn #BlackVisionariesLead #Juneteenth
