"Black To The Future: Black Prosperity & Progress" Event Promises Unforgettable Black History Month Celebration.

As Black History Month comes to a close, the local South Florida Chapters of Startup Grind and Founders Live are proud to join forces to host "Black To The Future: Black Prosperity & Progress," a dynamic celebration of Black achievements and contributions. Scheduled to take place on February 27th, this event promises to be an inspiring and empowering evening that will sell out quickly.

Attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a night of inspiration, empowerment, and unity as they join us in Midtown Miami, at PS Social located at 51 Northwest 36th Street Miami, FL 33127.

The event will feature a range of activities, including:
A dynamic pitching event showcasing the innovative ideas and accomplishments of Black Founders.
Explorations of African history through the metaverse, offering a unique and immersive experience.
Thought-provoking discussions and engaging activities aimed at fostering unity and progress within the Black community.

"We are thrilled to host 'Black To The Future: Black Prosperity & Progress' at PS Social," said Marc Lissade, Startup Grind Fort Lauderdale Director. "This event is an opportunity to celebrate the rich history and culture of the Black community while also reflecting on the progress we have made and envisioning a brighter future for Black prosperity."

The celebration invites attendees to reflect on the past, embrace the present, and envision a future filled with prosperity and progress for the Black community. With a lineup of inspiring speakers, engaging activities, and opportunities for networking, this event is not to be missed.

"We encourage everyone to grab their friends, family, and loved ones and join us for a night that will leave you inspired and uplifted," added Kwamara Thompson Founders Live Miami City Leader. "Together, let's make history and pave the way for a future filled with prosperity and progress for the Black community. See you there!"

The event is supported by several local black-led/owned organizations including Fitness + Financial Gains, PS Social, I Am A Black Woman Yes I Matter, BITE-CON, and The African Metaverse Museum, fostering community, inclusion, and access for local black founders. The networking mixer is generously being sponsored by Goslings.
