We ain’t NEW to this! We’ve been CONSISTENT with this! 💙💛🔥 This video is from a networking event we hosted a YEAR ago, and if there’s one thing the Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce understands, it’s that relationships aren’t built overnight. They’re built by consistently showing up! Before the introductions turn into referrals, before the handshakes turn into partnerships, and before opportunities start flowing… somebody has to create the space for people to CONNECT. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing! 🙌🏾 Different cities. Different businesses. Different faces. Same commitment to building a stronger statewide business ecosystem. We don’t just talk about networking. We create opportunities for it to happen, again and again. Because consistency builds trust, trust builds relationships, and relationships create OPPORTUNITY! 🔥 And guess what? We’re STILL creating those spaces! 📍 NEXT STOP: ALEXANDRIA! 🤝🏾 Business Beyond Clock-Out: Alexandria 📅 Thursday, October 22, 2026 ⏰ 6 PM – 8 PM 📍 Cowo & Crèche | 2034 Eisenhower Avenue, Suite 200, Alexandria, VA Join us for an evening of networking, meaningful conversations, business resources, and new connections with entrepreneurs, professionals, and community partners. Whether you’re looking for your next client, referral partner, business resource, or simply want to expand your network, YOU need to be in the room! 🎟️ Registration is OPEN NOW! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2002571770072 A year later, the work continues. The relationships continue. And the opportunities keep growing. Now tell us, have you ever made a connection at a VABCC event that turned into an opportunity? 👇🏾 We’d love to hear about it! #VABCC #BusinessBeyondClockOut #NetworkingWithPurpose #ConsistencyIsKey #AlexandriaVA BusinessNetworking Collaboration Entrepreneurship BuildConnectGrow taken in Virginia Black Chamber of Commerce by @vablackbusinessdirectory

From Norfolk State to Howard University! 🔥🐾 Our SECOND collaboration with On The Radar x PUMA, and another opportunity to connect students with industry professionals, career pathways, and possibilities beyond the classroom! At VABCC, we believe collaboration is about more than putting logos together. It’s about leveraging relationships, resources, and opportunities to create meaningful experiences and lasting impact. A huge THANK YOU to On The Radar for continuing to include the Virginia Black Chamber in these experiences and allowing us to help bridge the gap between education, industry, and opportunity. And did we mention… EVERY participating student walked away with a FREE pair of PUMA Suede sneakers?! 👟🔥 Now THAT’S how you combine culture, collaboration, and opportunity! Two universities. Two collaborations. And we’re just getting started! 💙💛 #VABCC #OnTheRadar #PUMA #HowardUniversity #HBCU Collaboration Partnerships StudentSuccess CareerPathways WorkforceDevelopment BuildConnectGrow taken in Howard University by @vablackbusinessdirectory

☕️ Networking is more than exchanging business cards. It’s about building relationships that can turn into referrals, partnerships, resources, opportunities, and sometimes even friendships. Our last Coffee & Connections in Woodbridge was a perfect example of what happens when you simply get people in the room. 💙💛 A special thank you to Ebony Wilkins and Aalis Management for sponsoring our venue, Shanel Evans and Socially Savvy for sponsoring the food, and Jackie Ross of Joys Delightz for providing the delicious bites. Your partnership helped us create a welcoming space for business owners and professionals to CONNECT. And we’re doing it again! 📍 Next stop: Fredericksburg ☕ Coffee + Code + Connections 💡 Technology, AI, business opportunity and collaboration 📅 November 18 | 10 AM–12 PM 🙌🏾 ALL industries are welcome! Whether you’re in tech or simply trying to understand how technology and AI are changing business, you should be in the room.

Today was a great reminder of what collaboration can look like when we intentionally connect business, education, culture, and opportunity. 💙💛 VABCC was proud to be at Norfolk State University today supporting the On The Radar x PUMA experience and the opportunities being created for students to connect with professionals and learn about career pathways within the entertainment industry. Similar On The Radar x PUMA programming is designed to expose students to music-industry executives, artists, and the many career paths that exist behind the scenes. Thank you to On The Radar for inviting the Virginia Black Chamber to be part of the experience. This is why partnerships matter. Every collaboration doesn’t have to look the same. Sometimes our role is to provide resources. Sometimes it’s making an introduction. Sometimes it’s bringing businesses into the room. And sometimes it’s simply showing up and helping connect the dots. When organizations bring their resources, relationships, and strengths together, we create more pathways for the people and communities we serve. Collaboration over duplication. Connection creates opportunity. 🤝🏾 #VABCC #NorfolkStateUniversity #OnTheRadar #PUMA #Collaboration Partnerships WorkforceDevelopment HBCU CareerDevelopment BuildConnectGrow taken in Norfolk State University by @vablackbusinessdirectory

Wine Got Me Here 🍷 One of the standout conversations at this year’s Virginia Black Expo was “Wine Got Me Here” a candid discussion about what it really takes to enter, build, and grow in the wine industry. Facilitated by Kindra Dionne, Owner of Fifty Leven Wine, the conversation featured: 🍷 Chrishon Lampley – Founder & CEO, Love Cork Screw 🍷 Seidah Armstrong – Founder & CEO, Sweet Vines Farm Winery 🍷 Kendall Anderson – Winemaker, The Winery at Bull Run 🍷 Michael Goode – Co-Owner, Hedon State Wine From launching a brand and developing a product to navigating distribution, building customers, and creating space in the wine industry, our panelists gave attendees a look beyond the bottle and into the BUSINESS. And the experience didn’t stop at the panel. Attendees could taste, shop, meet wine entrepreneurs, and purchase bottles right on the Expo floor. If you were in the room, what was your biggest takeaway? 🍷👇🏾 And make sure you follow and support our panelists! 🎥 @bpp_ap #VirginiaBlackExpo #virginiaisforlovers❤️ #BlackWine #WineEntrepreneurs #vabcc VABlackExpo RichmondVA taken in Main Street Station, Richmond, VA by @vablackbusinessdirectory
