The Pink & Black Honors is not just another awards gala; it is a premier black-tie event dedicated to elevating and celebrating the BIPOC entrepreneur community. In its second year, Pink & Black Honors shines a spotlight on businesses that empower and align with the goals of BIPOC communities. Founded by serial entrepreneur and consultant, Tenora Mia, the Pink & Black Honors serves as a beacon of inspiration, education, and celebration for entrepreneurs in the city of Cleveland. Covesa Kelly Events had the honor of joining as part of the planning team and a sponsor of the event held at Severance Hall, ensuring an unforgettable evening.
While the Pink & Black Honors is centered around recognizing outstanding achievements, it offers much more. The gala is a space for networking, learning, and drawing inspiration from some of the most influential figures in the city. Attendees had the opportunity to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and potential investors, fostering a community of support and growth.
This year’s gala featured appearances by notable celebrity guests, including KRS One, an activist and recording artist known for his contributions to hip-hop and social justice; Caroline A. Wanga, the President and CEO of Essence Ventures, who is celebrated for her leadership and advocacy for diversity and inclusion; and Le’Andria Johnson, a Grammy-winning gospel recording artist whose music uplifts and inspires.
In conjunction with the awards gala, the Pink & Black Honors hosts a series of educational workshops designed to equip entrepreneurs with essential business growth skills. Topics such as marketing and branding, finance, and strategic planning are covered by experts in the field. These workshops provide invaluable knowledge and tools to help business owners thrive in a competitive market.
One of the highlights of the event is the Honorable Pitch Awards, a unique competition where entrepreneurs pitch their innovative ideas. This competition offers a platform for business owners to showcase their creativity and vision, with the opportunity to gain substantial funding to bring their ideas to life. It’s a thrilling segment of the gala that underscores the importance of innovation and investment in the community.
The Pink & Black Honors is a testament to the resilience, creativity, and success of BIPOC entrepreneurs. It is a celebration of their contributions and a powerful reminder of the importance of diversity and inclusion in the business world. Whether you are an established business owner or an aspiring entrepreneur, this gala offers a wealth of opportunities to learn, connect, and be inspired. We are already looking forward to next year's event that is guaranteed to be an evening to remember.
