“Essence Fest felt like the Super Bowl of Black-owned businesses, and we are honored and amazed to attend”, said Kwame Molden, CEO of SPGBK Watches. “As a digital native watch company, connecting with our community and customers in person was such a priceless experience, and can’t wait to come back next year”.

Fayetteville native, entrepreneur, and business owner of Fuddruckers, Nicholas Perkins, also connected with the SPGBK leadership team during the Economic Summit to share words of wisdom and advice as a Black business owner.
