Black in the Room
Black in the Room
About the session
Let’s be honest. Decisions do not happen on LinkedIn. They happen in rooms. And too often, we are not in them.
This session is a sharp, light hearted, but very real conversation about how to change that. Not DEI for the sake of optics. This is about smart business, better outcomes, and unlocking networks that are still wildly under leveraged.
Hosted by an African single family office investor who has seen firsthand how access actually works, we will get into the practical side of influence. How do you get in the room, stay in the room, and move from being invited to actually shaping what happens there?
What to expect
A candid, discussion led session with honest perspectives, a few laughs, and zero corporate fluff.
Who this is for
This session is for investors, operators, founders, and leaders who are thinking seriously about access, influence, and who gets to be part of key decisions.
What you will get out of it
Practical ways to get more Black investors, operators, and thinkers into decision making spaces
A clearer understanding of how influence works where capital actually moves
Strategies to move from being invited to owning the room
A more honest view of how networks really operate
Come for the insight. Stay for the uncomfortable truths. And the good people in the room. That is kind of the point.
