When ELEVATE B.E.S.T. Event organizer Debrena Jackson Gandy went looking for business consultants ready to sit across the table from Black entrepreneurs and get straight to work, King's Dream Business Consulting's Jawan Harris was one of the names on her list.

A Black business owner steps outside to take a call in a busy downtown business district — the same kind of connection-making moment that drives the ELEVATE B.E.S.T. Event's Speed-Matching segment for Black entrepreneurs.

The ELEVATE B.E.S.T. Event — Black Entrepreneur's Success Training — is a regional gathering built for Black business owners, organized by Debrena Jackson Gandy (founder of the ELEVATE Movement and president of Masterminds Unlimited) alongside Devin Stubblefield of Faith Finance Center and MyMoneyAcademy.com. The event brings together training, an expert panel, networking, and a dedicated Speed-Matching segment connecting entrepreneurs directly with vetted service providers.

An Invitation Earned in the Room

Jawan's invitation didn't start with a cold email — it started with a conversation. After meeting Debrena at the BOBE Panel at Tabor 100, she personally reached out to invite King's Dream to apply as a Speed-Matching Vendor for the ELEVATE B.E.S.T. Event. Jawan applied, was confirmed, and joined the event's lineup of featured business consultants.

What Speed-Matching Is All About

The Speed-Matching segment is built to make real connections happen fast. Attendees sign up for dedicated slots with selected service providers — spanning legal, financial, marketing, and business consulting expertise — so they leave the table with concrete next steps instead of just another business card.

Representing King's Dream

At the table, Jawan showed up as one of King's Dream's Neighborhood Business Advisors — offering the same kind of practical, no-fluff guidance that King's Dream brings to every client engagement, in the space of a single Speed-Matching conversation. It's a format that rewards exactly what King's Dream does best: listening fast, diagnosing the real problem, and pointing an entrepreneur toward their next concrete step.
