Five years strong—and we are still building!
The fifth annual The BlackPRint Chicago Campaign Press Conference & Networking Breakfast brought together business owners, creatives, entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, freelancers, elected officials, and community leaders for a morning of real conversation, new connections, and meaningful collaboration during National Black Business Month every August.
This year’s theme, “Businesses Supporting Black Women. Communities Supporting Local Businesses,” reminded us that authentic community is built when we purchase from one another, share opportunities, make introductions, and invest in the people doing the work.
Thank you to State Rep. La Shawn K. Ford, The Support Group, Bright Leadership Institute and everyone who helped make this year’s gathering meaningful. A very special thank you to everyone who attended.
