Guest Editorial: Incredible Weekend! Black Wall Street Empowerment Summit
Kelli Redmond-Bagby

(BALTIMORE – January 6, 2025) – I’d like to share some highlights from the Black Wall Street Empowerment Summit on Saturday, where I had the honor of participating in an award ceremony and listening to an incredible guest speaker panel.

Key Takeaways:
++ Advocacy and Community Impact:
We must stay committed to ensuring our local neighborhoods receive the resources and funding needed for healthy, thriving communities.

+ The Power of Networks:
As Charlyn Nater shared, supporting one another in our journeys creates a full-circle process—what we give to our network comes back to us. She is passionate about advocating for small businesses, I’m excited to watch her impact within our communties.

+ Inspiration from Real Estate Pioneer:
Jacqui Cummings story of resilience and her pivots in real estate over the past year is a powerful example of grit and boldness. Her journey has inspired me for years!

+ Public-Private Partnerships:
Chad Williams Williams of West North Avenue Development Authority emphasized that sustainable change requires collaboration: “We cannot dig ourselves out with just government funding; there must be a public-private partnership.” I look forward to more involvement with this project, highlighting our need for healthy food hubs in West + East Baltimore.

+ Great Opportunities in Park Heights:
President/CEO Yolanda Jiggetts spoke about the real-life challenges of revitalizing a neighborhood and the exciting opportunities coming ahead of the Park Heights Renaissance. She also spoke on the importance of Public-Private partnerships within communities, navigating through buzzwords, and advocating for accurate results. I’m excited to follow up and explore how I can contribute by bridging cultural wellness and sustainable food practices, including the Park Heights neighborhood food hubs.

+ Certifications Matter:
Certifications for Minority- and Women-Owned businesses are vital. Leaders like Sean A. Stinnett, CMPA, CMPO, and Morgan State University’s Entrepreneur Center offer great business resources. I plan to get our company certified in the first half of this year!

+ Mentorship for the Next Generation:
Dewan Clayborn, IOM of the Central Maryland Chamber, stressed the need for mentorship to guide small businesses. This resonated with me deeply. We need those roadmaps to move forward.

This summit was insightful and inspiring. I’m grateful to be part of such a powerful movement in Baltimore and small business communities nationwide.

This recognition highlights the work ahead, and I remain committed to staying connected, open, and aligned with my purpose to make a meaningful impact.

Thank you to the Sankofa Museum of African Culture Community Center and everyone who made this event so impactful!
