HOMAGE - Earl Gilbert Graves Sr.

Since 1970

Visionaries lead the way and show others that it can be done on a very grassroots level.

Earl Gilbert Graves Sr. saw early on, that in order for Black people to be successful in business, it must be a deliberate collective effort.

He utilized his knowledge, and know how and created one of the most prolific informational magazines for aspiring Black business professionals, entrepreneurs and businesses known today as "Black Enterprise".

We call Earl Gilbert Graves Sr.

a leader, a creative and visionary, as he challenged the status quo and showed the world that Black people can reap great success, in spaces where Black people are often overlooked.

WHAT IS HOMAGE?

Homage is BBPF's way of showing respect to content creators of color who are visionaries, pioneers, and trailblazers in their industry - and we do this in short form. We believe it's necessary to honor those whom we still can see. And, those who are paving the way for the content creators of tomorrow! Here is our Black & Brown Podcast awards re-imagined (in written form).

Our goal is to pay homage every month to a visionary, pioneer and/or trailblazer. This is Homage, where we give honor to where honor is due.
