MBE NEIGHBOR'S BROOKLYN CONVERSATION
Hosted by Andre Messiah, Everest Blue Consulting, and The Black Institute, this gathering brings together minority business owners and local leaders for an evening of light food, real conversation, and honest discussion about the political moment we are living through.
This is a space to speak openly about what minority businesses are facing, what our communities need, and how we can come together to build power. We believe business owners need room to talk honestly about the future of their businesses, their neighborhoods, and the kind of political leadership and collective strength we want to build.
We hope you will join us to connect with others, build new relationships, and see what it can look like when TBI Warriors grows into a real political home for our communities.
