Get ready, because the Black Love Summit is back! This year, we’re taking over Los Angeles October 11-13 for an unforgettable celebration that centers on the very thing that binds us all together: love. Whether you’re a romantic at heart, an entrepreneur with a passion, or someone seeking personal growth, the Black Love Summit is designed with you in mind.
We’ve reached our 7th year of cultivating love, unity, and connection within the Black community. With the world constantly changing, Black Love is here to provide a much-needed dose of joy and inspiration.
The Black Love Summit 2024 is dedicated to Black film, TV, music, and authentic love stories, with plenty of insightful panel conversations and workshops to keep you engaged. We’re honoring our unique journeys and celebrating the stories that make us who we are.
You might remember last year’s Summit in Atlanta, where we had power couple Devale and Khadeen Ellis and married entrepreneurs Pinky Cole and Derrick Hayes talking about wealth building, purpose, and family. Tai Beauchamp also made an appearance with her session on fostering joy as well as Keri Hilson with her discussion on managing entrepreneurship. Over the years, we have had speakers like Niecy Nash-Betts, Russell and Nina Westbrook, Melvin Gregg, Bill Bellamy, Melanie Fiona, Lance Gross, Sterling K. Brown and Ryan Michelle Bathe. This year, we’re bringing that same energy and you never know who might show up!
Attendees can expect a range of activities throughout the day, including a curated marketplace featuring Black-owned, Los Angeles-based brands. Food trucks will be available onsite for the duration of the event.
