“October 24th is the next step of many for supporting our entrepreneurs and is a tremendous endorsement that the world’s most celebrated entertainers, athletes, musicians, and brands will help lead the way.” Daymond John says.
Black Entrepreneurs Day will be highlighted by “Game Changer Conversations,” which will feature John in one-on-one conversations with numerous Black business leaders and cultural icons from Chance the Rapper, Gabrielle Union, Jamie Foxx, Shaquille O'Neal and many more.
Black Entrepreneurs Day will be a free global live-stream event beginning at seven p.m. during eastern time on Daymond’s Facebook page and will be broadcasted through LiveXLive across digital platforms including YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Twitter.
The event was created to provide guidance and inspiration to the next generation of entrepreneurs.
