Fact Sheet

ABOUT

Black Professionals Month (BPM) which was launched in 2021 and is held annually in October is an unprecedented 31 days of virtual and in-person events,  recognitions, and programs to showcase Black professional excellence.  BPM is a groundbreaking, global initiative amplifying the accomplishments of Black professionals, enabling meaningful connections, and activating productive collaborations to expand its trusted global community.

WHY

Despite gains in education and employment opportunities since the civil rights era, Black professionals lag behind their white counterparts in proportionate leadership roles, comparable income, and wealth generation. BPM is a proactive and strategic initiative to ignite the change Black professionals need to see.

VISION

In addition to an increased presence in leadership roles, millions of black professionals have built strong collaborations, a thriving and trusted community, and expanded wealth accumulation.

MISSION


Celebrate and support Black professionals worldwide to collaborate and build a trusted community that fosters increased leadership presence and generates greater wealth accumulation.
