This Black Business Month, NABA is proud to spotlight leaders who are breaking barriers, driving innovation, and building a more just world. Each of these trailblazers exemplifies our mission to engage, empower, and elevate—showing what’s possible when we lift as we climb. Robert F. Smith has transformed the software investment industry while championing educational access and wealth-building. His historic $34 million gift to Morehouse College erased student debt and set a powerful example of giving back. #BlackBusinessMonth #LiftAsWeClimb #WealthEquity
