Robert achieved this milestone as the cofounder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) alongside his then wife, Sheila Johnson. Their visionary leadership and entrepreneurial spirit led to the sale of BET to Viacom for $3 billion. By the year 2000, the network had achieved significant growth, reaching an audience of over 61 million homes. Robert L. Johnson’s groundbreaking success not only transformed the media landscape but also paved the way for future Black entrepreneurs. #BlackEntrepreneurs #BlackLeadership #BlackCEOs #BlackBusinessMonth

Mellody Hobson has been reflecting a lot lately: “I’ve been trying to figure out how these pieces all come together, and thinking a lot about how I grew up.” Raised on Chicago’s South Side as the youngest of six children, her strong family support network provided a safe base amidst less stable circumstances outside. Today, Hobson is an iconic businesswoman. As president and co-CEO of Ariel Investments, she oversees about $14 billion in assets for the first African American-owned investment firms in the US. Her leadership has guided the company through decades of economic change, and paved the way for a new generation of diverse investors and entrepreneurs. As the chairwoman of the board of directors at Starbucks Corporation, Hobson provides high-level strategic oversight for one of the most successful, profitable, and recognizable brands in the world. Mellody Hobson was the recipient of the 2023 ELC Achievement Award at the 2023 ELC Gala!
