Seven years ago, we met in person for our first ever Black Diamond Affair, with the purpose of celebrating black leaders and business owners in our area. Fast forward to 2022, we’ve expanded our mission and our event to help thousands of black business owners to scale, network, and sharpen their business skills. Take a look back at our journey!
