The KiKi Networking Brunch is I Be Black Girl’s signature annual celebration — a gathering created to honor and amplify the brilliance, leadership, and joy of community. This event started in 2017 when more than 100 community members came together to dream, build, and imagine what was possible. That moment became the foundation of IBBG as we know it today.

The KiKi continues to honor that legacy, creating spaces for economic opportunity, entrepreneurship, and community care through a morning filled with connection, good food, and meaningful dialogue.

This year’s keynote speaker is Eva Marcille!

From winning America’s Next Top Model and becoming a COVERGIRL, to gracing the pages of Essence, Women’s Health, and SHEEN, Eva has spent years showing the world what it looks like to evolve with confidence and poise. You’ve seen her on your screen in Everybody Hates Chris, House of Payne, The Young and the Restless—where she earned two NAACP Image Awards—and now as the lead in BET+’s All the Queen’s Men. Beyond acting, she’s also a producer, entrepreneur, radio host, and devoted mother who continues to use her platform to uplift her community.
