Black Tech Founder Launches AI Platform to Help Entrepreneurs Build Sustainable, Scalable Businesses

As Black entrepreneurship continues to rise across the United States, many founders are building successful businesses without the systems needed to sustain long-term growth. Black tech founder Lakeisha Jackson is working to change that.

She has officially launched Octopus AI, an AI-powered business operating platform designed to help entrepreneurs centralize their marketing, automate follow-ups, manage customer communication, and scale without burnout.

“Too many entrepreneurs — especially in our community — are building through hustle alone,” Jackson says. “But hustle doesn’t scale. Systems do.”

Beyond Ownership — Toward Infrastructure

According to recent data, Black-owned businesses are one of the fastest-growing segments of entrepreneurship in the country. However, many founders still operate without integrated systems for email marketing, appointment scheduling, customer tracking, social media management, and automated follow-up.

That operational gap can slow growth and limit long-term wealth building.

Octopus AI was built to address this challenge by bringing essential business tools into a single AI-powered platform.

Following a successful kickoff in Oakland, California, the Homeschool Yo Kid Expo 2026 is continuing its bold 4th chapter with a 13-city national tour, bringing homeschooling resources, education, and community directly to families across the country. Hosted by Homeschool Yo Kids Organization, the Expo is designed for all families with kids who are exploring homeschooling, alternative education, or seeking stronger educational support systems.

The Oakland Expo, held January 31, 2026, marked the launch of a nationwide movement focused on empowering families to take control of their children’s education. Building on that momentum, the Homeschool Yo Kid Expo will travel across the South, East Coast, Midwest, and West, meeting families where they are with tools, information, and connection.

Each Expo stop features interactive activities, inspiring speakers, curriculum and enrichment vendors, and hands-on learning experiences for both parents and children. The experience is intentionally inclusive — welcoming families who are brand new to homeschooling, actively homeschooling, or simply exploring educational options beyond traditional systems.
