Empowering Entrepreneurship and Global Collaboration for Sustainable Change




 In today's interconnected world, the diaspora represents not just a scattering of communities, but a vast network of untapped potential. As an advocate for global collaboration and entrepreneurship, I stand before you with a vision to harness this potential for sustainable change. With greetings from Mega EV College City University of New York and the national HBCU Business Roundtable, our collective mission is clear: to foster collaboration within the diaspora and champion entrepreneurship as a cornerstone of economic development.


The transformative power of connecting individuals across borders is undeniable. According to the United Nations, the number of international migrants has reached a staggering 272 million, presenting a unique opportunity for collaboration and innovation. By leveraging strategic partnerships and alliances, we can break down silos and create platforms for knowledge sharing, mentorship, and investment. Beyond remittances, which contributed over $714 billion globally in 2019, lies a wealth of opportunities that extend far beyond financial transactions.


Entrepreneurship, as highlighted by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, is not merely about starting businesses but about creating value and solving problems. To nurture entrepreneurship effectively, we must build ecosystems that provide access to education, mentorship, and a supportive regulatory environment. With HBCUs poised to play a pivotal role through targeted programs and digital transformation, we have the opportunity to empower individuals and communities worldwide, paving the way for a more equitable and prosperous future.
