Where he had the chance to meet and greet with Forbes lister, financial guru and black tech influencer, Angel Rich, who was there supporting Hampton University, her alma mater. The two spoke regarding the importance of black tech in today’s world and that they wanted to see support from their community in hopes to receive more notoriety for their tech ventures. This meeting would ultimately be a foreshadowing of the next meeting between Donovan Bridgeforth and Angel Rich on an even bigger stage. The next time Donovan and Angel crossed paths was in TriBeCa, New York City, in the lobby of the Breakfast Club. Angel was being interviewed by Charlemagne The God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee about Financial Literacy, Black Tech and the history of the Black Dollar and Donovan and his team were brought to New York City amongst the viral moments of the Internet movement that trended the #GetToDiddy hashtag that was inspired by The Black App Team. For those who are unaware, P. Diddy and Jay-Z were inspired to create an app that helps connect the public with black-owned businesses, which is exactly what The Black App does. In light of this news The Black App Team took a leap of faith to New York City in search of P. Diddy and Jay-Z to collaborate with them on this project. The conclusion of the #GetToDiddy movement was completed by Angel Rich who shouted out The Black App and Donovan Bridgeforth on Breakfast Club. She went on to defend its right to exist and stated that Diddy and his team should invest into existing black tech instead of attempting to reinvent the wheel. Currently, The Black App Team is continuing to take their mission coast to coast and partner with influencers in the community that want to help them on their mission to #ElevateBlackBusinesses and #RedefineOurCommunity Join the NEW Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/betterthanbestacademy Book a FREE 1on1 Coaching call with Coach Red Wallace CLICK HERE: https://calendly.com/coachredwallace/30min If you would like to partner with this channel financially CLICK HERE: https://anchor.fm/betterthanbest/support 📱 Subscribe and Listen to the Better Than Best Academy Podcast HERE: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-than-best-podcast-by-red/id1320076647?uo=4 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5tWDNsFMgKSYjzIrNzQRfT Anchor: https://anchor.fm/betterthanbest Youtube: https://open.spotify.com/show/5tWDNsFMgKSYjzIrNzQRfT Our mission here at Better Than Best Academy is to help you overcome limited mindsets, discover your purpose, redefine your personal brand and build your community.
