Dr. LaTanya White, award-winning researcher, TEDx speaker and founder of Concept Creative Group based in the District, was named one of the “50 Most Powerful MBEs, Advocates and Strategic Resource Partners” at the 2024 MEDWeekTM Legacy Awards Gala that took place on Oct. 26 in Miami, Florida.
Presented every five years, the prestigious recognition celebrates influential leaders in the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) community who have made significant contributions to economic empowerment, advocacy and strategic partnerships.
“It is truly an honor to be recognized among such an esteemed group of advocates and entrepreneurs, especially because I’m doing work that I was told was impossible,” said White. “At Concept Creative Group, we are redefining our economic legacies and turning them into engines of empowerment, and it’s driving the systemic change our communities deserve.”
In addition, the Concept Creative Group has been recognized as a Powerful Capital Readiness Provider as a part of the Capital Readiness Program (CRP). The CRP is funded by the Department of Treasury in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA).
The work that White does through Concept Creative Group centers on advancing equity by influencing policy, and through entrepreneurship education and strategic development for MBEs. Her efforts have had a transformative impact on over 10,000 socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs through initiatives like the Dynastic WealthTM framework, which emphasizes the importance of legacy-building and sustainable economic advancement for underrepresented communities.
