ABOUT THE EVENT

On Friday, February 16, nearly 300 individuals gathered at Egypt Shriners Center for third edition of The Refinery. The focus of this event was Redefining the Color of Wealth. We discussed the challenges and opportunities among the Black community when it comes to building generational wealth. The conversation also highlighted the Black women and wealth and explored what wealth building looked like for Black athletes in their post-professional careers. The Refinery was developed by serial entrepreneur and community leader, Gary Hartfield, to serve as a safe space for conversation, support, and healing. It is more than an event, it’s an opportunity to “refine” mindsets and create solutions. It’s a place to celebrate our greatness and remind the world of our existence. It’s a space for inspiration and empowerment. View the photos from the event below.
