(BALTIMORE – November 3, 2025) – BMORENews.com proudly presents the Black Wall Street NEW BALTIMORE — a dynamic celebration of Black excellence in business, entrepreneurship, and community leadership on Thursday, November 6, 2025 (6 pm-8 pm). As tradition holds, the centerpiece of the event will be the prestigious Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards, honoring trailblazers who are making meaningful impact in their industries and communities.
Since 2011, BMORENews and its partners have recognized more than 2,900 leaders across 9 U.S. cities for their contributions to Black entrepreneurship and economic empowerment. This year, we’re excited to expand that legacy with the debut of the Black Wall Street Youth Awards — a new initiative designed to uplift and showcase the rising generation of Black changemakers, visionaries, and future business leaders.
Honorees include Makaelah Jones.
