We thank Mr. Brown for his eloquent and informative facilitation, and Ms. Lewis for her humor, support, and uplifting input.

We truly appreciate them BOTH, for their dedication to the work that black businesses and business leaders provide to others everyday.

Reflecting on this , we thank Ms. Mellody Hobson for gracing us with her presence at last week’s Inaugural Black Business Leaders Hall of Fame.

We thank Ms. Hobson for her time, dedication, and support, as well as her words of encouragement, enlightenment and empowerment!
