The Full-Day Agenda
Less inspiration, more connection. Here's how the day comes together.
A candid conversation about work, wealth, layoffs, visibility, and opportunity in a new era for Black women.
What does it mean for you, your job, your business, and the world?
An interactive session on positioning your personal brand — the one you know best but find hardest to market — through every career twist, turn, and pivot.
A relaxed, in-the-room conversation over lunch — real talk on career pivots, personal branding, and building something of your own alongside the day job.
A special moment to pause and celebrate the women whose leadership, creativity, and impact define this year's Summit.
In today's creator economy, influence is no longer simply measured by followers, views, or virality — it is measured by ownership. We're bringing together powerhouse women who have shown what it means to own their platform, their narrative, and their Creative Capital, for an insightful, interactive conversation about building a creative career on your own terms — and using that power to create opportunities beyond yourself.
Moderated by Director Latoya Foster, this panel brings together creators, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to explore three essential pillars of sustainability.
Real questions. Real answers. No judgment. Attendees anonymously submit their biggest financial questions ahead of time; our moderator puts them directly to three experts for honest, practical advice — no lectures, no sales pitches.
A candid conversation on reinventing your career path across sports and entertainment media — from the field to production to the front office — with Ashley Grayson (Director of Marketing, Washington Nationals), Jaia Thomas (Founder, Diverse Representation), Carlysia Levert (Production Manager, TNT Sports), and Kimberly Marcus (VP, Monumental Sports), moderated by Scarlette Whyte (Head of Partnerships & Inclusive Content Strategy, CNN & TNT Sports).
How to land sponsorships and partnerships and build long-term relationships — frameworks for spotting opportunities and evaluating partners, from a decade spent on both sides of the table.
Close out the day with an open bar — cocktails and mocktails — plus one last round through the vendor marketplace before we call it.
All times Eastern & approximate. Full speaker bios at check-in.
