Welcome to the Dear BLK CEO Podcast! It's the only show committed to helping you re-define yourself by your gift instead of your job title, so you can can create ownership and time freedom on your own terms. Listen in on conversations with successful black executives, entrepreneurs, and founders every week as we de-construct their best strategies for successfully breaking the handcuffs of a corporate job, and transitioning to running a business of their dreams. 
So get ready to ditch the pressure of trying to fit into a mold of what it means to be successful, and step into using your gift un-apologetically with your Host, Karl Sona”

Dear BLK CEO

The number 1 place for corporate and government procurement teams to find, engage, and connect with Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises(MWBEs). 

Many supply chain and procurement teams are having difficulty marketing RFP's and upcoming contract opportunities  to a wider audience of qualified minority and women owned businesses that are growing increasingly.

In turn, many MWBE's don't have established relationships with procurement teams, and also lack access and knowledge on how to find and bid on corporate/government contracts that they can service.

The Supply Chain Connect is a digital network that brings MWBE's and procurement officials together through the production of video content that help these businesses build real relationships with one another.

Minorities and Aboriginal Peoples are entrepreneurial, buying and starting businesses at significantly higher rates than the Canadian average. CAMSC connects buyers and suppliers, so that organizations benefit from the innovative solutions, cost savings, improved employee retention, local job creation, brand loyalty, and increased revenues that result from a diverse and inclusive supply chain.
