“We applaud MOBE’s efforts to provide a space for small business owners to network with large corporations and gain insider knowledge that benefits their growing businesses,” said Dorinda Walker, Vice President of Cultural Insights and Activation at Prudential, and executive host of the 2018 MOBE
event. “The symposium is an important catalyst to help these entrepreneurs develop strategic alliances, and gain insider knowledge that helps them grow their businesses.”
MOBE Symposium Founder, Yvette Moyo agrees, “Prudential’s continued MOBE Symposium sponsorship accelerates our business-‐building efforts and was surely a factor in P&G coming on this year. These two Fortune 50 companies are helping to pave the way to opportunity, not only for Black-‐ owned entertainment and marketing businesses, but for corporations that understand, appreciate and have the savvy to differentiate the Black consumer market. Today the MOBE Symposium is a social justice necessity. We are providing a place where the unknowns, as well as some of the most powerful Black-‐owned business brands and marketing powerhouses, can collaborate to grow and prosper.”
