Generational wealth isn’t created by accident—it is built with intention, protected through strategy, and passed forward with purpose. From November 6–8, 2026, Houston will serve as the backdrop for the 2nd Annual Black Wall St. Legacy Weekend, a three-day summit committed to advancing entrepreneurship, financial empowerment, and the enduring legacy of Black economic resilience.
Under this year’s core theme, “Protecting Your Legacy and Growing Your Wealth,” the weekend offers local families, founders, and community leaders direct access to the tools needed to secure long-term financial independence.
Across three days, attendees will gain insight into the core pillars of wealth creation and business sustainability. Educational sessions and interactive workshops will cover:
- Asset Protection & Finance: Estate planning, trust building, navigating insurance, and cultivating strategic banking relationships.
- Modern Business Growth: Leveraging artificial intelligence, digital marketing, and real estate development.
- Holistic Leadership: Balancing mental health, foundational financial literacy, and sustainable entrepreneurship.
The event features an esteemed roster of industry leaders, including Gene Boykin Jr., Dr. Velma Trayham, and Benaisha Pooe-Lewis. Alongside keynote presentations, the weekend includes targeted networking sessions, an interactive vendor marketplace highlighting local businesses, and an awards ceremony honoring community pioneers driving economic progress across Houston.
