WBENC National Conference – New Orleans – June 23-25th 2025

Just got back from the WBENC National Conference in New Orleans and wow – what an experience! 🌟

The size of this conference compared to the ones I’ve been to in Europe? Can’t be compared. The energy… the nonstop networking… exhausting but so empowering!

Had the pleasure of meeting so many remarkable hashtag#WomenBusinessOwners and corporate leaders who continue to champion hashtag#DEI and hashtag#InclusiveSourcing initiatives. 🤝

But amidst all the celebration, I was deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing of Pamela Prince-Eason, WBENC’s incredible President, shortly after the conference. My deepest condolences to her family, friends, and the entire WBENC network during this difficult time.

This conference was a powerful reminder of the strength found in hashtag#connection, hashtag#collaboration, and hashtag#community.

Together, we must keep standing strong for inclusive sourcing, building meaningful connections and empowering each other every step of the way.🩵

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to everyone I had the pleasure of spending time with – and to the Big Easy for the kind hospitality!
