CommUNITY, is both a mindset and a mandate. It reflects the collective power of Black leaders to shape, build, and move the footwear industry forward together. As culture continues to influence every corner of the industry, this conversation centers the people driving that impact. From students to executives, we are no longer waiting for opportunity, we are creating it, scaling it, and sustaining it through community.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO DETROIT TO CELEBRATE OUR 2026 HOMECOMING! We had smart, meaningful conversations. We shared our talents, stories, and wisdom, reconnected. We created and learned. We recognized, celebrated, and built onto our growing community. Thank you for making this Forum what it is.

Events photos coming soon!
