NEW YORK, July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Black professionals make up 10% of college graduates, but less than 1 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs and only 3 percent of executive/senior manager-level roles according to a study by the Center for Talent Innovation. The result of these struggles has led to thirty-eight percent of black millennials saying they are considering leaving their jobs to start their own company and Brian Lee is creating a platform to empower black professionals to become millionaires through education and professional development.

A key part of Brian's plan includes partnering with corporate America to make good on their diversity statements. Lee says, "There has been a lot of talk from corporate America about standing with the black community, but now it is time for action. Black professionals would like to see investment directly into black talent and black suppliers. They also want professional development and to see diverse people in company board seats and in the C-Suite."

There has been a lot of talk from corporate America about standing with the black community, but now it is time for action. Black professionals would like to see investment directly into black talent and black suppliers.

Post this

Realizing that many companies do not know where to find black talent Brian launched Black Health and Wealth to provide access to a network of black talent and world class suppliers so that every single Fortune 500 company can take action.

Brian Lee is a seasoned executive that has worked behind the scenes on advertising campaigns from brands like Verizon, Microsoft, and many more. His own struggles moving up the corporate ladder inspired him to create the Black Health and Wealth platform that helps guide Black professionals through corporate America and entrepreneurship. His goal is to create one million Black millionaires that will lead to new Black Wall Streets all over the world.

In an effort to create one million black millionaires over the next 10 years, Brian has outlined a multi-phased approach to circulating the black dollar. Brian believes that building the Black Wall Streets of modern times needs to be a digital first approach and his plan starts with building a platform that fortifies the black professional in corporate America, ladders up to black business/entrepreneurship and then finally the black community.

Under phase one, Lee will provide education and professional development to professionals within the network, helping them navigate through corporate America in addition to resources for entrepreneurs. In phase two, the company will introduce a black business network to centralize all Black businesses to an easy-to-access network in addition to working with major corporations to diversify their supplier strategy.

About Brian Lee

Over the course of his career Brian has worked on advertising campaigns for the largest brands in the world (Microsoft, Verizon, Citi and many more) and is the thought leader that advertising companies like Google go to in order to improve their products. He is also a contributor to Forbes, AdExchanger and more. Despite his success, Brian comes from humble beginnings and like many black professionals struggled to climb the corporate ladder for many years despite delivering quantifiable success to his organizations consistently. The once homeless phenom never forgets where he came from and always looks to reach back to others coming up behind him.

In addition to large brands, Brian has devoted a large amount of his time empowering small black businesses to improve their business offering and increase their revenue. This includes everything from creating e-commerce strategies for brands appearing on Shark Tank to accelerating sales for local businesses through digital advertising. His passion has always been showing black businesses how to market like the Fortune 500 and he has created a plan to create Black Wall Streets all over the world.

About Black Health and Wealth
