May 2023

KJA is proud to partner with and support Yoba Development, a nonprofit building infrastructure and futures for the next generation!

For this project, KJA helped Yoba Development with event and program management at its immersive, two-day generational wealth building conference, focused on educating and connecting attendees. Through mentorships, scholarships, job opportunities, and networking, the event inspired and empowered the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Started by actor, educator, and emerging real estate developer Dr. Malik Yoba, this incredible mission-driven organization is committed to building community through education and sustainable, affordable property development.

From the Ground Up: Flipping the Hood is an immersive, two-day generational wealth building conference that focuses on educating and connecting all who attend. This community focused initiative brings together a diverse range of professionals and entrepreneurs of color to provide opportunities for both the community at large and students.

Through mentorships, scholarships, job opportunities, and networking, the event will inspire and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs to take action, learn, work and invest together for the sake of ownership and agency in their own communities.

Built by Yoba Development, this experience is designed to promote generational wealth building by informing, inspiring and empowering communities of color to take action, work together, share information and opportunities in the tech sector, government contracting, scholarships, create equity, access, investment and ownership in the commercial + residential real estate developments in our neighborhoods, as a pathway to build generational wealth collectively.
