About the Event
Celebrating, educating, and investing in the Black veteran business and jobseeker community with a full weekend of powerful events.
2025 Theme:Business As Usual, Run a L.A.P. (Learn. Act. Play.)
Hosted by Treazure Owens, CEO of the certified MBE, WBE, and SDVOSB Treazure Marketing, in partnership with:

- Morgan Colvin, CEO of It's Mo Creative (Military Dependent)
- The Black Alliance of Colleges and Employers (B.A.C.E.)
- American Legion Post 478, Commander Beverly Finch
In a time when previously made commitments to equity and inclusion are being scaled back, we're choosing to scale up—our vision, our networks, and our impact.
This year's theme, “Business As Usual,” is more than a slogan.It's a declaration that Black business ownership, collaboration, and leadership are not trends—they are the norm.We're moving forward, whether systems support us or not—and we welcome everyone who's ready to move with us.
Join us as we Run a L.A.P.:→ Learn. Act. Play.Inspired by The Marathon Continues, this weekend is about showing up, building together, and creating spaces where legacy and opportunity can thrive.

- Strategic panels + expert-led workshops
