Connections that create opportunities.

Indiana Black Expo was proud to host Citizens Energy Group’s 3rd Annual Supplier Engagement Expo today at the IBE Building!

Through Matchmaker Sessions, businesses and entrepreneurs connected directly with Citizens Energy Group business units and prime contractors to build relationships and explore new opportunities.

Partnerships like these help open doors and strengthen our business community.

That’s in action!

We know how to show up.

For the concerts. The culture. The celebrations. We bring the energy, fill the spaces, and make our presence felt.

Now, let’s carry that same energy beyond the moment.

Because the decisions made today can shape our schools, neighborhoods, families, and future for years to come.

You don’t have to agree on every issue to understand the importance of being informed and making your voice heard.

Know what’s on your ballot. Make your plan. Cast your vote.

There’s more to photography than taking a great picture!

Every Saturday, students in Indiana Black Expo’s Performing Arts Academy (PAA) have a space to explore their creativity, learn new skills, and grow.

Our photography students are doing more than learning their way around a camera. They’re developing creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and confidence that can make a difference in the classroom and beyond.

And sometimes, all it takes is the right opportunity to help a young person discover what they’re capable of.

Hey, are you early voting today?

Before you head to the polls, let’s talk about those judges on your ballot. Do you know who they are?

Don’t make YES or NO an automatic choice. Take a few minutes to look into their backgrounds, the decisions they’ve made, and how they’ve ruled on issues.

Visit in.gov/courts/retention to do your research and make an informed decision.

Your vote deserves more than a guess!

📲 Share this post and tag someone who’s getting ready to vote. Let’s make sure more voters know where to find the facts!

Plans change. Life happens. Voting early gives you more time, more options, and one less thing to worry about on Election Day.

Find early voting locations and hours in your county at IndianaVoters.in.gov.

Saturday mornings are for growth! 💎

Every Saturday, our BBTI entrepreneurs show up ready to learn, ask questions, and do the work it takes to build stronger businesses.

From working through class assignments to learning from industry experts, Teárra Dotson continues to guide and encourage them along the way.

Last Saturday was another reminder that building a successful business doesn’t happen overnight, but having the right knowledge, guidance, and support makes a difference.

That’s in action. Investing in our entrepreneurs and their success!

Voting is more than a right and a privilege, it is a responsibility rooted in legacy. It is a debt we owe to our ancestors and the founders of Indiana Black Expo, who worked tirelessly to ensure our voices were heard.

They fought for progress, opportunity, and representation. We can’t afford to sit on the sidelines.

Honor their sacrifice. Make your voice count. Get out and vote!
