Hey there, 6th Ward Family,


We’re continuing to build momentum in our community—and I want you to be part of what’s next.


Join us on Saturday, April 18, 2026 at 9:00 AM for the 6th Ward Economic & Business Summit at the Capital One Shine Bright Community Center (8560 S. Cottage Grove).

This year’s theme—“Black Economics & Business: Wealth Building, Ownership & Community Power”—is all about creating real pathways for growth, ownership, and long-term success in our community.


Building on the success of our 2nd Annual Spend In The Black, this summit will bring together leaders, entrepreneurs, and residents for meaningful conversations and actionable insights.


You can expect:

  • A powerful panel featuring industry and community leaders
  • Breakout sessions focused on business, finance, and opportunity
  • Resources to help you grow, build, and sustain wealth


We’ll also hear from keynote speaker Jemal King, known as the “9 to 5 Millionaire,” who will share insights on building wealth and ownership.


This is more than an event—it’s about moving the 6th Ward forward, together.



Come ready to learn, connect, and take the next step toward building generational wealth.

We look forward to seeing you there.


Registration is required.

6th Ward Forward. 6th Ward Together.


Warm regards,

Alderman William Hall
