🎉 Celebrating Impact and Community! 🥃 On November 18th, we brought together 35 local Black philanthropists for an unforgettable evening of purpose and indulgence at The Algiers Club. Guests enjoyed a premium whiskey-tasting experience, expertly guided by Tone Castillo, who shared fascinating insights into the craft of whiskey-making and the exceptional Suntory Global Spirits portfolio. Together, we raised $2,100 to support the educational and leadership development programs of the National Black MBA Association - DFW Chapter. These funds will empower our next generation of leaders through scholarships, mentorship, and career-building opportunities. A heartfelt thank-you to our sponsor, Suntory Global Spirits, and to all our generous guests for making this event a success. This was more than a tasting—it was a testament to the power of community and collective impact. 📸 Relive the magic!

🌍 International Fraud Awareness Week 🌍 Fraud impacts all communities, but Black Americans often face unique vulnerabilities due to systemic inequities like limited access to financial education and predatory practices in underserved neighborhoods. We believe awareness is the first line of defense. 🔎 Why It Matters Black households are often targeted for scams like credit repair fraud, payday loans, and fake job offers, which disproportionately affect economic mobility and stability. 💡 5 Ways to Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones: 1️⃣ Stay Informed: Learn to spot red flags in common scams, like unsolicited messages requesting personal or financial information. 2️⃣ Verify Before You Trust: Always verify the legitimacy of emails, calls, or messages from unfamiliar sources. 3️⃣ Monitor Your Credit: Regularly check your credit reports for suspicious activity. You can access free reports via AnnualCreditReport.com. 4️⃣ Secure Your Digital Footprint: Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication on your accounts. 5️⃣ Speak Up: Share knowledge within your community to help others avoid falling victim.
