**Gifted & Black** is a curated executive gifting and relationship-building experience designed to celebrate Black excellence, entrepreneurship, culture, and influence through the language of luxury.Created as a high-touch experience during Howard Homecoming week, Gifted & Black brings together a carefully selected network of Black executives, entrepreneurs, media and communications professionals, corporate leaders, and influential community stakeholders.
## **WHY GIFTED & BLACK**
Black consumers and decision-makers continue to shape some of the most influential conversations in culture, business, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and entrepreneurship.
Yet many emerging and established Black-owned brands do not have access to the rooms where meaningful relationships are built.
The experience provides participating brands with an elevated opportunity to:
- Place products directly into the hands of influential decision-makers and tastemakers
- Build authentic relationships with media, communications, and corporate professionals
- Generate organic conversation and social visibility
- Introduce products to potential strategic partners, clients, and collaborators
- Associate their brand with an experience centered on Black excellence and intentional connection
