Transactions are the heartbeat of commerce. In building wealth within our community, where you choose to transact matters.

Imagine arriving in a city and instantly knowing where to find all the Black-owned businesses.

Imagine the extent of economic growth we'll experience when we generate and retain wealth within the Black community.

This is a call to our community and our allies to be more intentional about buying from and supporting Black businesses.

Let us promote commerce within our community.

Thanksgiving is about gathering, sharing good food, and celebrating the people and communities that make life a little richer.

And sometimes, the most meaningful thing we can do is remember the hands behind what we enjoy. The baker who stayed up late, the caterer who put love into every platter, the creative who made your table feel extra special.

This Thanksgiving, as we gather around the table, let’s make room for the Black-owned businesses bringing flavour, creativity, and heart to our celebrations.

Wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving filled with good food, great company, and plenty of reasons to be grateful.

Remember the energy of BTF 2.0? The conversations ran deep.

The panelists dropped gems you're still thinking about. Strangers who left as collaborators.
Now imagine all of that, but bigger.

BTF Summit 3.0 is coming, and you do not want to hear about it secondhand.
June 2027

Block your calendar. Tell your team. Bring the friend who needs to be in the room.

Last time, we connected, shared and learned. This time, we're taking it further.
Who's pulling up with us? Tag someone who needs to be there.

Who gets equity?
Who gets a say?
