Our Mission
At Black Future Week, our mission is to unite ecosystems of people of color and allies, fostering connection and growth for Black excellence. We aim to close funding gaps for underrepresented founders, build multi-generational wealth within the Black community, and empower attendees with new connections, learnings, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Our
Vision
Our vision is to create a future where diversity is celebrated, innovation thrives, and all individuals have equal access to opportunities for success. We envision a world where the achievements of the Black community are recognized and valued, where inclusivity is embraced, and where collaborative efforts drive positive change and progress for generations to come.

At Black Future Week, we are dedicated to curating periodic social and informational events aimed at educating, unifying, and inspiring not only the Black community but also our allies. Through a dynamic blend of discussions, workshops, film screenings, music, entertainment, and technology, we offer a diverse range of experiences that celebrate Black excellence and promote inclusivity.
Our themes focus on present-day solutions and future opportunities within the creative and tech industries, providing attendees with a comprehensive view of these sectors. We are committed to fostering open dialogue for impactful partnerships, leveraging peer networks for job creation, and providing access to capital to address funding gaps for underrepresented founders.
Ultimately, our goal is to foster multi-generational wealth creation and empower individuals from all backgrounds to thrive in these industries. Join us as we build a future where diversity, innovation, and collaboration are celebrated and valued.
