Energy, Impact, and Caroline A. Wanga

The 2025 How to BWB Summit opened its doors with powerful momentum on Day 1, setting the tone for a weekend rooted in culture, community, and unapologetic Black excellence. Held in the heart of Boston, the welcome reception buzzed with anticipation as members, thought leaders, and changemakers gathered for the first time under one roof.

The night’s keynote speaker, Caroline A. Wanga, President & CEO of Essence Ventures, did what she does best—set the room on fire with bold truth, radical authenticity, and a message that left the audience on their feet. Her presence wasn’t just inspiring—it was activating. Following her talk, attendees had the opportunity to meet Caroline during an intimate book signing, turning a powerful message into a tangible memory.

The energy was electric. The vision was clear. And this was only the beginning.
