Legacy of Wealth Forum In Partnership with Forbes BLK

Martha's Vineyard. The Strand Theater. August 11, 2026.

The traditional wealth-building model wasn't designed for everyone and the people who have built extraordinary legacies anyway know exactly why. This exclusive fireside forum brings together Black entrepreneurs, investors, and cultural leaders for the wealth conversation that goes all the way.

Three pillars. One afternoon. A room that changes everything.

• Emotional Wealth

  Healing what was inherited so you can lead differently.

• Cultural Wealth

  Structuring the stories, intellectual property, and cultural assets that define your legacy.

• Financial Wealth

  Trusts, wills, generational planning, and the financial infrastructure that outlasts you.
