Join us this Black History Month for an inspiring gathering: “Standing Firm in Power and Pride”, presented by the Black Business Collective in partnership with Colmore BID.

This event celebrates the strength, heritage, and achievements of Black entrepreneurs, professionals, and creatives - past, present, and future. We come together to reflect on our collective journey, to amplify our voices, and to reaffirm our commitment to success, dignity, and community.

Expect powerful stories from business leaders who’ve built legacies in the face of adversity, and opportunities to connect and celebrate together, because when we stand firm, we lift each other up. Let’s honour where we come from, celebrate who we are, and forge a path forward with power, pride, and purpose.

Please note that by registering for this event, you accept that your details will be shared with Colmore BID for reporting purposes only.
