Black Business Enterprises (BBE) was founded by Nancy Korsah, an Italy-born Ghanaian and Twin Cities-based entrepreneur, who wanted to create a platform to help business owners grow. Her vision was to provide resources, mentorship, and support to empower entrepreneurs and help them achieve their full potential.

Based in Minneapolis, the Black Business Enterprises (BBE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. BBE is passionate about serving entrepreneurs, small businesses, and individuals striving to improve their financial standing and business prospects. The organization’s mission is clear: “To help minorities establish their worth to wealth.” Their niche is providing access to “the grid” for entrepreneurs, ensuring they have the tools, resources, and networks they need to succeed.

The Black Business Ball began as an initiative post-civil unrest following George Floyd’s passing, aimed at revitalizing Black-owned businesses in the Minneapolis area. The event has since grown into a symbol of hope and solidarity, offering a space for celebrating the spirit of entrepreneurship and resilience within the Black community. This year’s ball marks the fifth anniversary of this impactful event.

The ball will take place on Saturday, October 19th, at Mosaic Venue, 817 5th Ave S, Suite 300, Minneapolis, MN 55404. The red carpet entrance begins at 6:00 PM, and the ball will conclude at 10:00 PM. The event will feature a special performance by Yung Joc, adding an exciting touch to an already remarkable evening. Yung Joc's performance is set to elevate the celebration, bringing energy and entertainment to a night dedicated to supporting and uplifting the community. Additionally, the evening will feature a silent auction, offering attendees the chance to bid on unique items, with proceeds further supporting grants for Black-owned businesses.

Event Highlights

• A Red-Carpet Entrance: Attendees will arrive in style, greeted with a glamorous red-carpet experience that sets the tone for a night of elegance and celebration.

• Live Entertainment & Inspirational Speeches: Enjoy a captivating performance by Yung Joc, along with inspiring keynote speakers who will share insights on business, resilience, and community impact.

• Awards Ceremony: Honoring outstanding Black-owned businesses that have made significant contributions to their industries and communities.

• Silent Auction: A unique opportunity for guests to participate in a silent auction, with proceeds supporting the growth and success of Black-owned businesses.

• Networking Opportunities: A chance for entrepreneurs, professionals, and supporters to connect, collaborate, and build relationships that can drive future growth.

As in previous years, the support of the community has been instrumental in making the Black Business Ball a success. This year’s event aims to further strengthen the bonds between local businesses and the community, fostering an environment where Black entrepreneurship can continue to flourish.

Though limited, tickets for the 5th Annual Black Business Ball are still available now, and early booking is encouraged due to limited availability. All proceeds from ticket sales will directly benefit the grant program for Black-owned businesses, furthering the mission of the Black Business Enterprises Fund to uplift and empower the Black business community.
