As Grand Rapids Area Black Businesses continue to build up Black businesses and Black entrepreneurial culture in Grand Rapids and beyond, GRABB is excited to announce our continuation development series, the GRABB Breakfast.
GRABB Breakfasts are a morning Chalk Talk and Development series for dreamers, makers, innovators, and current/aspiring business owners. This series not only brings together our city’s Black talent but also creates an open space to connect and build relationships.
The GRABB Breakfasts are events to bring together Entrepreneurs & Intrapreneurs that are driven by passion, purpose, and progress. Our Chalk Talk Presenters hope to inspire their audience and inspire change in neighborhoods, communities, and cities.
Every event includes networking time before and after the Chalk Talk Presenter. The GRABB Breakfasts is an excellent opportunity to meet with business people across various industries and sectors who are willing to share and learn from one another.
This upcoming event is $15 which includes a 30-minute talk w/Q & A plus breakfast! Anyone can attend. Just register beforehand to reserve your spot. Space limited!
