✨ Keynote Speaker: Nancy Korsah
🎤 Host: Sadek Tahirou | 🎧 DJ Ola
🎶 Live Music by Cavalla Sound
🥂 VIP Experience with Champagne Service
Welcome to the WeNetworkNow Annual Fundraising Gala! Join us at La Fontaine Event Center for an unforgettable evening of celebration and giving back. Get ready for a night filled with live entertainment, delicious food, and inspiring stories.
This year’s Gala features Nancy Korsah, President & CEO of Black Business Enterprises (BBE), a trailblazing leader whose inspiring journey from housecleaner in Los Angeles to global entrepreneur and community builder embodies resilience, vision, and empowerment.

Meet our Speaker
Nancy Korsah was born and raised in Italy to Ghanian parents, Nancy moved to the U.S. in 2001. This was a stark contrast to her experiences growing up near Milan, where she and her family were the only Black people in town.
Nancy moved to Los Angeles at the age of 19 with nothing but $175 in her pocket. With no other options available, she started knocking on doors looking for house cleaning jobs. The first woman who hired her fell in love with her story and started recommending her to neighbors. Within months, Nancy had a thriving business cleaning the homes of people like Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Steve Harvey and Travis Barker. She didn’t know that her clients were famous. All she cared about was having enough money to make her and her mother U.S. citizens, which she did.
“My L.A. experience created my mindset for business,” Nancy says. “I used the first hundred dollars I earned cleaning houses to buy even more cleaning supplies. Then I just kept going from there. I realized that if entrepreneurship could change my life, it could also change the lives of other people like me.” The woman also spent time to teach Nancy how to balance a checkbook and taught her everything she knew about being financially literate, including how to manage her credit.
After traveling to over 60 countries as a flight attendant and learning even more languages (she now speaks seven, including Japanese), Nancy’s key life moment occurred when she lived in Charlotte, North Carolina. After earning several promotions at a major bank, she learned that people of color in the bank’s call center were earning $10-12 less per hour than their white counterparts, even if they had the same or more responsibilities. After helping her colleagues secure fair pay, improve their resumes and land better jobs elsewhere, Nancy got a vision for an organization that could help address inequity at a systemic level. She started Black Business Enterprises (BBE) in 2015.
BBE’s mission is to give minority entrepreneurs access to capital and other critical resources they often lack — including financial literacy, business planning, technology, marketing andmentorship — so they can start, grow and sustain successful businesses that improve their lives and build their communities. Today, BBE has over 72,000 registered members in 32 countries and every state, including Nancy’s current home base of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Nancy’s future goals for BBE include reaching 1 million members worldwide, making sure that every BBE member goes through rigorous financial literacy training, and raising $4 million so BBE can provide larger grants and make an even greater impact.
In addition to BBBE, Nancy owns a home care agency with her family; performs diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and anti-racist behavior training for businesses; is a popular one-on-one coach and mentor for entrepreneurs; and hosts the popular Black Business Enterprises podcast and the Black Business Ball.
