About this Event
Fifteen years ago, the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards was born in Washington, DC — bringing together entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers committed to uplifting Black business and community.
Now, we return to where it all began.
Join us for the Joe Manns Black Wall Street Awards: 15th Anniversary Homecoming — Washington, DC, a powerful evening celebrating legacy, impact, and the people who have helped build this movement from the ground up.
From Baltimore to Prince George’s County to Washington, DC and beyond, Black Wall Street has honored more than 3,000 entrepreneurs across the country. What started as a single event has grown into a national platform for recognition, connection, and economic empowerment.
This special homecoming will bring together longtime supporters, new leaders, and distinguished honorees — all under one roof — to celebrate 15 years of excellence and look ahead to the future.
Hosted by Beverly Smith, Founder and CEO of Momma’s Safe Haven, this event reflects the spirit of service, resilience, and community that defines Black Wall Street.
