The Madam Walker Legacy Center is a significant piece of our nation’s history and is listed on the register of National Historic Landmarks.

InnoPower Minority Business Week (IMBW) has filled the gap for Black-Led innovation networks that bring together local, national. International entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs, leaders in the non-profit and private sectors, donors, and impact investors to network, share experiences/ideas, and make connections to address development challenges in Black communities in Indiana.
The last two years have brought unbelievable hardships to families and communities across Indiana. Black Hoosiers have especially felt the most pain as they battled “the triple pandemic” that includes the lethal Coronavirus pandemic, the twin evils of police brutality and disregard of Black life, and thirdly, equity issues that have tormented Black-Americans for generations.
When you partner or attend the InnoPower Minority Business Week, you have an opportunity to champion Indiana’s MVP businesses, become a legacy maker in the minority business community, and connect with some of the top leaders and firms at the forefront of positive change.
