“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,” said Daymond John.

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 7pm EST 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. There will also be a $175,000 award through seven NAACP Powershift Entrepreneur Grants. Entrepreneurs and small business owners can apply until October 12th online at Black Entrepreneurs Day website.

Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP, explained that the organization is thrilled to be partnering with John to deliver the Powershift Entrepreneur Grant and that the event will be free to future business leaders to imagine the possibilities in business through ingenuity, innovation and passion.
