Essence covered BMG founder Dr. Rashae Barnes' announcement of National Black Funding Day (September 30th), created to spotlight the venture-capital funding gap facing Black entrepreneurs and to push corporations toward direct investment in Black-owned businesses.

The retreat gave our guests precisely the relaxation and rejuvenation they were looking for — attendance surpassed what we projected.
A remarkable feat given the complexity and the timeline. BMG's financial discipline delivered real savings without cutting a single corner.
