Meet Adaeze Okwu

My name is Adaeze Okwu. I am the Creator and Owner of The Black Blank, a brand that caters to the celebration of African Americans breaking barriers inside and outside of Corporate America. I currently work in a Caucasian-Male dominated industry. There are not many African Americans in my industry. At the beginning of my career, I never felt like I belonged in that space and soon, like many others, overcame and am still overcoming racial challenges in the workplace. Each challenge I overcome reminds me that I do belong there. Me and my brand are simple, yet BOLD; calm, yet IN YOUR FACE, and new, but IMPACTFUL.
