Together, we’re fostering growth, ownership, and prosperity in the insurance industry.

Leverage our collective market share to create equitable opportunities for Black Insurance Agents and Agency Owners across the country.
Combine our resources to collectively do our part to close the racial wealth gap through community driven initiatives.
Build Trust:
The formation of the banking and insurance industries in the United States were formed when slavery was still legal, deliberately excluding Black American and employing discriminatory practices; leading to a lack of trust by the Black community of financial institutions.
Black Friday has been able to improve the relationship between Black insurance agents and agency owners and insurance stakeholders committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion by creating a space where honest and courageous conversations can occur.
Build Value:
Due to the inequities that exist in the insurance industry, Black agents and agency owners have been challenged with securing access to capacity, capital and consultative resources. to start, scale and grow their books of business and agencies.
By facilitating one-on-one meetings between Black agents and agency owners and insurance company partners, Black Friday creates the access point for equitable opportunities. Access is the value.
Build Solidarity:
Some view solidarity to be based on the collective identity of a group of people. Others view solidarity as the basis for which people bond due to their common oppression. Regardless the motivation, solidarity is necessary to move agendas forward and make real change.
Black Friday’s mission is create equitable opportunities for Black agents and agency owners. In order to accomplish this mission, we must work unite and work together. Black Friday unites us.
