The future belongs to us. It’s time for Black-owned businesses to get the global contracts they deserve and drive the economic change that Africa and the diaspora so desperately need.
The First Right of Refusal is here. It’s your chance to lead.
Announcing the 2025
Black & Global Business Network
Virtual Summit:
First Right of Refusal Program
There's so many business conferences out there, but rarely are we on those stages and if we are, we are there as a token. Something has got to change. We want to see more of us in places where dollars count and money matters.
We’ve all felt it, watching from the sidelines as others secure deals, build wealth, and shape industries while we struggle to even get a seat at the table. It's time for a shift. It's time for diaspora businesses to own their place in the global economy, where their skills, gifts, and talents are no longer just building someone else’s dream.
The First Right of Refusal (FROR) Program is that shift.
For too long, we’ve been excluded from the biggest opportunities in Africa,
multi-million-dollar contracts that could transform our businesses, empower our communities, and secure our place in the global market. But we’re changing that narrative.
Through the First Right of Refusal, diaspora businesses get first dibs on these contracts, ensuring that we’re not just invited to the table, we’re leading the charge.
We’ve seen too many Black-owned businesses struggle with these challenges:
💼
Being Left Out of Major Global Opportunities
-
You’ve worked hard, yet global contracts and big deals seem just out of reach, and when you do get access, you're competing with giants who already have the advantage.
-
FROR is your solution, giving you priority access to bid on projects in Africa, without being overshadowed by international players.
👩🏫
The Struggle to Be Taken Seriously in the Global Market
-
How many times have you been dismissed, or felt like your expertise and value were ignored? Your skills are valuable, but you’re not being recognized by the decision-makers who control the contracts.
-
FROR solves that—because you don’t have to fight for a seat at the table anymore. You get the first opportunity to bid on the projects, showing the world that we are just as capable, if not more.
👥
Building Someone Else’s Legacy
-
Tired of using your hard-earned skills to build someone else’s empire? Watching your efforts enrich others while you remain stagnant?
-
With FROR, you’ll be building your own legacy. Secure high-value contracts, create jobs in Africa, and make an impact where it matters.
We are changing that narrative
