00:00so i'm gonna ask who are some of your top favorites because we've got to narrow this
00:14down so i'm a little nervous if we're going to get through this so melanie who'd you have
00:20so my top favorites were i'm looking at my notes because i'm like they were all so good
00:28but um i would say i loved risar so i love the the the thought around harnessing content creators and
00:42harnessing something that is so common with social media and even in a pandemic and coupling it with
00:49how you actually run a business to be an effective connector so i i love them um i also loved young
00:58king hair care i mean who doesn't love to see some good black boy joy and we love our little guys so
01:06like i i mean it's one of those things where coupling beauty with young black boys and the
01:14opportunity to see yourself there that's absolutely phenomenal um and if there was one more that i
01:22would say i loved it would be milky mama milky mama was one of the ones where to think about
01:30the health disparities that black women face day in and day out especially knowing that many of the
01:38healthcare innovations that we see today were built on the bodies of slaves knowing that there are black
01:46women in industry working to provide solutions that aren't just for black women but can truly help us
01:55i love that just her presence is changing people's perspective and before i move on i just want to
02:01call out the the uh young king care because this is our 10th time and they applied before it did make
02:06it uh and so again i just think that speaks to the resilience and and the commitment to traction when
02:11you know they didn't get in the first time and here they are now so i will say personally great
02:15to great to see them back and so what would you who'd you come up with so two of mine are the same
02:21young kings and uh milky mama definitely but i also really like uh mixtures and i really like that
02:28because i think it solves our problem that we have um in networking but also just engaging with one
02:33another in person i think it's kind of a lost art and it's very difficult for a lot of people to have
02:37meaningful interactions with one another so i think anything that can help us solve that problem
02:43is important yeah and she's another one who came back again so so i know she'll be happy to hear
02:48that and then robbie who do you have because we're seeing some similarity but there's a few outliers so
02:53who are you voting for i focused on size of community and the ability to then leverage that with product
02:59and um and and then and then with sort of the overlay you know is there a real deficit in the
03:07marketplace right and so um milky mama was by far a standout she knows exactly what she's building
03:16she's got the expertise to know how to build it she's got the sensibility to understand that and what
03:22she said was really powerful she said the information and the content is is is where you
03:29start and then you provide people with the product based on them buying into the information really
03:34really smart and tactical and that's how that's how big businesses like that are supposed to get
03:39built by far by far my favorite um brown boy toy uh or what is it called brown toy box brown toy box
03:48um again um we don't see in our kids you know we don't see our kids in these in these aisles and
03:53more importantly other kids don't see our kids in these aisles and so to be able to uh to be able
03:59to build both a b2b and a b2d b2c concept around something that's very intentional so that our kids
04:06can see themselves and there's learning rooted in it um and she also is very very prepared to do what
04:13she's doing so i thought that was a big community right product with a huge market deficit um and
04:20then look the it was sort of a close a close third between young king io and uh mixtrose um but i think
04:32the biggest opportunity is with young king because uh there just is some you know nobody nobody really
04:38has an anchor on not even not just not just young boys but also men right i mean everybody kind of
04:45uses a lot of different things and there's not a go-to set of products and so i think with the but
04:50the challenge with that one will be um you know the product ultimately won't be what sticks it'll be the
04:57brand and so you have to sort of build it in a really smart way with the right team with the right
05:02wherewithal in order to build a mode around it uh so i've got and i'm not going to put them in any
05:08particular order just yet i've got milky mama young king brown toy box mixtrose did i miss anybody
05:16a razor razor okay sorry about that all right so we've got those so let's talk about some of the
05:23other ones first what what do we where do you see them i mean what are some of the areas you think
05:27they need some assistance mixtrose is a very is a very very novel idea i think again those types of
05:36businesses which are really which are really software type businesses uh they require a lot
05:41of capital um very early on to make sure that you can build the tech and you can manage the tech in
05:47a way that um creates some defensibility she may be able to get some traction and then ultimately
05:54somebody would buy her um because that's just uh because that's that's that's the opportunity there
06:00um i really like uh io uh because uh protrude is incredibly impressive she knows exactly what she's
06:10building she knows uh the guts of the business to build it the right way so the fact that it's just
06:16her and her husband but she's got sales marketing supply chain production etc all lined up and it's clear
06:21that uh it's clear that she um you know the only thing she needs is more runway and she will continue
06:29to get her product out in the right way uh with the right uh you know with with the right wherewithal
06:35rizar was interesting from my standpoint because i understand i understand the problem she's trying to
06:41solve and melanie i imagine from a from a target's perspective that kind of relationship could
06:48potentially be really interesting um to to be able to get to you know purpose-driven content creators
06:55in a really efficient way um but it's also it's also it's also a software business and so you know
07:03you have to sort of build real infrastructure um in a in a meaningful way in order to be a good
07:10sort of b2b service provider to a target of the ones you've named or maybe even another one that we
07:16haven't come up who do you think has probably done the best uh because of covid19 who has probably
07:22the greatest opportunity over the next 12 months i have okay because because in a challenging market
07:31environment like this you actually have to know you have to understand the needs of your business
07:35in a really granular way and know how to go uh build partnerships or build relationships
07:41with uh with folks that can deliver upon that and so that experience that she can leverage in really
07:48challenging times i think gives her uh gives her real wind at her back i would say milky mamas
07:54yeah uh just because at this point there's a lot of uh that information and access to lactation
08:01specialists and products that have been usurped by covid19 so they're not able to go in to have
08:07these meetings where the community would be built more naturally um where the exchange of ideas about
08:11how to better lactate how to better serve your children um is not there anymore that community
08:17now has to be built a different way so i think she's already started it and it just so happens to
08:22be during the time where she can really leverage it based on that question i'm going with young king
08:27hair care just okay just working working in retail and seeing what's happening right now across the
08:34industry of retail personal care and personal grooming by itself folks are going through jars and bottles
08:44of edge control for zoom calls that's true and when i think about that coupled with the niche of black
08:54owned coupled with some actually like innovative product and like a white space those three things
09:01layered on top of each other i actually think they have they have a great runway and knowing they're
09:07already going into retailers so they're going to have people ordering online but then also
09:13some foot traffic in some of the largest retailers in the u.s where everything else is close i think they
09:20actually have like they have a great shot so of those five um what are your top three
09:28definitely young king and noki mamas are two without question i'm struggling on um brown toy box
09:38um and io foods yes so the two are kind of kind of in tandem for me and i'm going more towards the
09:45toy boxes because i think with virtual schooling um kids being home more the holiday season being
09:51right here upon us um and she can get a good bit of data a good bit of traction at least get her brand
09:57recognizing the market she may not get the sales traction during this holiday season but she'll
10:01at least get some recognition um it can really attach herself to the school year starting back up
10:06in january uh melanie what about you what are your top three milky mama young king and um io foods
10:14okay thank you and robbie so milky mama and young king young king for sure
10:21um that's really hard i'm gonna go with brown toy box so we've got young king mama milky mama toy box
10:32uh and then melanie i'm gonna come back to you because you had io up there i bumped them to the
10:37top because robbie had convinced me with that stirring speech about like the expert
10:42the reason why i put brown toy box in the third slot versus io is what do i feel like uh the world
10:52needs more of right now and i feel like the world needs more representation of uh toys and and
11:01experience and experiential education sort of platforms that are focused on um my kids
11:07and you know and the kids the black and brown kids in our lives so i kind of cut through it from
11:14that perspective what does the world need more of i feel like there's a little bit of a an issue with
11:19the the segment of customers that she's marketing to in terms of marketing to people who traditionally
11:24make joe law i find that just like a lot of things we want to make it ourselves we take a badge
11:29of honor and i made this from scratch so i don't know that that's really her market um i think
11:34there's some more conversation that needs to be had there just because you're probably going to get
11:38a lot more of the explorers than you are the people that traditionally make this i know the
11:42women that compete in my life are never going to go buy it in a box so that's the reason i kind of
11:47chose to put that next is that there's probably some additional discussion and discovery that
11:51needs to be done to really figure that out there's a few things with io one i actually think
11:56she needs that money to break through what from a marketing standpoint and actually educate
12:02her potential consumers that she's here so there's that number one number two when i look at the
12:08ethnic food aisle especially within frozen most of those brands that are sitting there right now
12:15especially within the mass space thus far are not minority owned or founded like like there's a
12:22there's a lot going on and if we want to talk about representation in spaces and inspiration where they
12:28don't exist this is actually a perfect one to stand behind and then number three to the point of brown
12:35toy box i will just say in recent months especially looking at the toys and game segment there's become
12:46there's a large influx like there yeah this is a wonderful idea but it is not the most innovative
12:53that i've seen io foods is actually innovation coupled with expertise they just actually need
13:00the resources and some more marketing directive and when she said first gen like as much as i do love
13:07to cook what i've like grew up on i also like to throw something in the microwave too that i love when i
13:14don't feel like going through a laborious task of like an oxtails and crock pot that's actually
13:20wonderful context because i actually considered brown toy box on an absolute basis not a relative
13:26basis and so because of your perch you have a broader set of you know a broader set of considerations
13:33which i think i have to defer to so i'm good with it and i agree she she she does need the resources
13:38and um and uh i haven't been in the grocery store in a long time so i couldn't tell you what's in the
13:43frozen aisle so i will also so i so i will also i will also uh accept this fact uh that representation
13:50so i'm good with it actually you made a very compelling point that representation even in the
13:55frozen food is representation so and that's the place we're not represented at all so i i agree
14:00you had to put them in order what would you what order would you give me what you just said
14:05oh young king milky mama and io food i'm milky mama io and young king i'm milky mama young king
14:15io foods are we are we all good on milky mama i say i was just about to say i think we all can say
14:21milky mama is is one for all of us and i think that right so right right so then two and three don't
14:27matter because so the other exactly same amount of money yeah all right so we've got milky mama
14:32young king and io what are your next top three it is a good way to look at and then the rest of
14:37them just kind of fall okay brown toy box mish uh mixtrose and rizar we actually agree all the
14:46same thing i didn't really hear their responses but i have brown toy box mixtrose and uh rizar is that
14:57how you say that that's it good we're good awesome thank you all i know it's been an extremely long
15:06day um you can see why this was hard to even get that far because there were hundreds upon hundreds
15:11of applications so really appreciate your time appreciate your wisdom and can't wait so we can
15:16announce who the winner and thank you the idea was we would take the wealth that we had created
15:26in our sundial shea moisture business and we would invest that wealth directly back into black women
15:33to date we've invested in over 50 black women-owned businesses i'm excited and proud to announce
15:53that for our seventh one here we now have another 10 new investments and so i'd now like to announce
16:03our 10 winters congratulations and um we're so impressed with your business we're so um moved
16:18by the intentionality and you know the pillar in our communities has been our churches and to have
16:25somebody thinking about how we can make them stronger financially this is very important so we're going to
16:30invest another 5 000 now that the judges have had a chance to deliberate it's time for us to tell
16:47you who actually won the competition but before we do that i thought it'd be really important for you
16:52to get to meet the man behind this mission and vision mr rich dennis rich welcome
16:57thank you thank you for having me this is exciting um we're uh we're really on a roll with these and
17:06and really having some impact here so uh i thank everybody that uh that's that's joined us on this
17:12journey and that are that are helping to give these incredible entrepreneurs the types of opportunities
17:17that they've deserved all along in the rare event that there's somebody out there who has not heard of
17:24you or new voices for this pitch competition as we enter the 10th competition which is no small feat
17:32tell us live it's all evolved and what is new voices well first uh congratulations to um to the entire
17:41new voices team right to rissalina yourself marie um uh daryl like all the folks that have made this
17:49happen to think when we started this that we would already be at the 10th uh at the 10th competition
17:56and um that would mean now that we've probably um uh directly impacted you know some i don't know what
18:0520 000 different black uh black entrepreneurs and and some um uh at least some i don't know what would
18:14that mean 100 winners in in this time yeah so so we're at a million we're at over a million and
18:21more importantly over 650 hours of coaching and mentoring to all of those women wow see that's
18:28tremendous i mean that's that's that's true impact right and that's what i hope um that's what that's
18:35what we that's what we built this around that's the strategy that we put in place that's what those
18:39are the things that we wanted to be able to deliver those are the things that we want to measure
18:43and what i'm excited about is that as we see other people trying to do similar things that they are
18:50doing it for this level of impact um and are measuring and and they're being held accountable
18:56and that they're not just doing it as as marketing ploys or as ways to say hey look at us too um but
19:02they're truly delivering delivering impact because otherwise that hurts the community that we're trying
19:08to help right and and to hear these numbers now is just fantastic so congratulations to everybody to
19:14all our partners to target to all the folks that have that have come along with us on this journey
19:21um who you know two years ago when we started having this conversation you know many of them
19:26thought we were crazy here we are right well that doesn't mean we're not crazy we're just successful
19:32you got a point there we definitely because to do this you got to be kind of crazy
19:40that's right that's right that's right well before we go to the winners i i would love for you to talk
19:44a little bit about why you did this because i think that whole element of purpose that people oftentimes
19:50aren't familiar with if you can talk about the pillars that we stand on i think it'll be helpful to
19:55others to guide what they should be doing but also to help people understand why this is a unique
20:00community to be a part of yeah you know um we we we've been doing this for you know you know this
20:11is a this is a 30 years in the making right like like our whole our whole ethos has been around um how
20:19do we leverage the businesses that we're building to invest back in the black community right how do we
20:25how do we leverage the businesses that we're building to create wealth in the black community right
20:30and how do we pass that on how do we make other businesses um accountable to doing the same
20:36thing right how do we have other black entrepreneurs not just benefit from the programs that we that we
20:42develop and that we invest in um but that they are also developing their own programs and that they're
20:48investing in and so if you ask me the thing that i'm most proud of is all of the companies that we've
20:55invested in all of the initiatives that they've all put in place especially during covid um to contribute
21:02back into their communities right and to see that the development that they are now doing in their
21:07communities right to be building businesses with this at the forefront as opposed to the back of the
21:13mind it's right here it's front and center and that that i think is that i think is the true impact
21:19because while we may you know be impacting you know however many people you know 40 000 people 50 000 25
21:28whatever the number is um uh uh through this um if each of those people is going back and impacting
21:37one or two people right um then you know if we're able to impact 40 000 and that 40 000 is able to impact
21:45two each and then that number just spreads right and and that's how we're going to bring this real
21:49change in in in our community so so for me um that is that is probably what's most satisfying that is
21:58where we need to continue to we need to continue to drive and we need to continue to we need to continue to
22:03focus yep and and i think that's that's so important and it's clearly what everything you have built and
22:10what shea moisture and everything that you touch is really based on not just becoming
22:15flesh in the pan but really sustaining purpose for communities and and that's what we have today so
22:20why don't we dive into the winners because we've got yeah yeah yeah please no no i was going to say
22:27to sort of point it out for a second i think shea moisture is an excellent example of what this looks
22:32like at scale right so we built a business whose purpose and intention was to serve the black community
22:40in more ways than just selling it product and when you see the work that shea is doing
22:44today um it is truly it is truly magnificent right it is it is truly um uh a a a continuation
22:54of the of the the the the the model that we put into place in the model that we were building
23:00that's what i want to see happen with every company that we touch um and with every company
23:05that is touched by companies that we've touched right where you take the foundation the foundational
23:09community commerce principles and you expand upon them right and so so for everybody that's out there
23:16listening um that's what this is about yep so sorry we can go on so we want you to no no we want we
23:23want you to hang on that because i think it's significant as we tee up the winners um that that was kind
23:28of a cornerstone to the evaluation process as well right we looked at their value proposition we looked at
23:34we looked at their mission but we also looked at their impact um so people should know out there as
23:39they think about applying to the next one that's really important to this community and to the new
23:44voices family so with that said let me recap we had 10 amazing finalists out of several hundred who
23:50applied uh and i was one of the many who had a chance to help narrow it down and the final 10 were
23:55absolutely amazing this is a pitch competition that not just gives away money and the capital but really as we talked about earlier
24:03focuses on coaching and support because without money oftentimes i'm sorry without coaching oftentimes
24:08the money means nothing and we saw that in new orleans where we had somebody who won the top prize
24:12and had not cashed the check until we were able to really help her figure out how to best spend it so
24:18so this is a powerful opportunity so i'm going to leave the big folks to you i'm going to share with
24:22folks who the uh initial winners were and then you get to do the whole big drum roll so we give away over
24:29a hundred thousand dollars every pitch competition and the beauty is because it's family everybody
24:33wins so i'm proud to say that the first two winners who will go home with five thousand dollars
24:39are suvi and purpose t so we want to give a shout out to both of them and be sure to check out their
24:45products as well we know that we will uh you have the instagram channels and all the other ways to find
24:50it but amazing companies uh we also in that five thousand dollar category have pretty pleased teethers
24:56and lingo uh and if anybody's a parent pretty pleased teethers as you saw robbie who joined us
25:02as a judge even he was excited uh and lingo has been around for a while doing some amazing stuff
25:07in stem so be sure to check out those four because they are five thousand dollar winner next we have our
25:14ten thousand dollar winners who were no less amazing than our top prizes and bought to us some amazing
25:21products and services we have rizar which is out there changing the world we have mixtrose if you
25:27want an alternative to all these crazy zoom meetings and last but not least right before christmas we have
25:32brown toy box so congratulations to our ten thousand dollar winners and so that leaves you rich if you want
25:38to do the 15 000 or the 25 000 or if the 15 is too low for you then we can just leave you with the last
25:43person so you tell me no no no no no no no no you know you know that i started as a street vendor so
25:51i still consider myself a street vendor 15 grand is a lot of money right all right especially when you're
25:57trying to get started it's a lot of money um and so we're we're excited to be to be contributing to that
26:04and if you don't get the 15 it's harder to get to the million right and it's hard to get to the 10
26:08million so i'll take the 15 as a starter right so um uh uh uh you know the the the the the companies
26:18here are the ones that we're now really sensing so part of part of what this is about right um uh
26:24guys out there and melissa as you you know so well because you've helped us build it is not you know
26:31not everybody's ready for capital right and not everybody is um uh is going to be able to use the
26:38capital once they get it in a way that generates the type of returns that are necessary so a big
26:43part of what we do is all the coaching and the mentoring and the supporting and the and and the
26:48the the uh brainstorming and and the development together um and not just say hey you you've done
26:54great now here's 10 grand we'll see you later right it's how do we now this is actually the beginning
26:59of it right and these companies that are now getting to this level of the companies that we believe
27:03are now ready to step out into the world and and and and start building to be in every household to
27:08be on every screen to be to be everywhere and so so i'm excited i'm excited about that so the the first
27:15one um is io foods i'm really excited about this one because what io foods is doing is taking a product
27:23that comes from deep within our culture and exposing that broadly across our culture and to even broader
27:30audiences right and and that's no different from what we did with shea right we took we took a a a
27:35shea butter which was extraordinarily um important to our culture um and exposed it broadly to our
27:42culture and then globally right and so so i'm really excited about it and plus you know she's she's
27:48doing jello fries and everybody knows liberian jello fries is the best jello price on the planet
27:52you know and and i don't i don't even know why the other countries continue to have jello
27:56rice they should just you know switch over and and give all of their uh constituents the best product
28:02in on on the planet but but that's that's that's that's what io foods is doing and and that's exciting
28:07because we have all of these gems deep within our cultures right across the globe um and to be able to
28:14reach in take take that that that that that genesis of what it is that that that makes us who we are
28:23and to expose that to the rest of us and then build upon that to take it more broadly and most
28:28importantly to monetize our own culture uh to to create businesses around our own culture and not
28:35be you know content to buying our culture from somebody else uh but being the ones that are
28:40monetizing it that are creating it terribly exciting so congratulations io food now you know the other
28:47thing is and this one is also kind of true and and and dear to my my heart because you know a lot of
28:53people say what you're a beauty entrepreneur you got no hair you sell a lot of hair products with that
28:58what's that all about so that that's why i grow the beard so that people can respect my hair game right
29:03um but but that's where this one this this one really comes in and is really exciting too the second
29:10fifteen thousand dollar winner is uh young king hair care right and um that for me is is is
29:17extraordinary and exciting because here are people that are thinking about young men in our in our
29:21community right that that that right that grooming is so important how we show up is so important
29:27especially as young black men right how we show up how we look how we how we present ourselves how we
29:32carry ourselves all of those things are so so so so important to us and so um
29:41i'm excited about and just the name right young king hair care giving our young men the confidence
29:47up front let them know that they're kings let them know that they that they that that they are um
29:53setting the trends that they are leaders that they are innovators that that they're kings right
29:58and so i'm really excited about about those two um and uh uh uh you know this beard next time you see

33:12what was exciting and special about this win with the new voices target accelerator pitch
33:17you know i think what was so exciting is that i loved the emphasis that you guys put on black
33:26business owners and business owners of color um because there aren't very many organizations that
33:32do that so it really was near and dear to my heart to definitely apply to this organization because
33:38being a black business owner is is so special to me um and then of course partnering with target
33:44um i love target i'm a mom i think we all love target and i thought that that was a really really
33:48exciting opportunity as well yeah target or target they're they're here to um and and and speaking
