My Dream Summit 2023

What do you get when you combine financial and intellectual wealth? You get the Artist, Billionaire, Philanthropist, Investor, Visionary, Kwanza Jones, and her partner in business and life, José E. Feliciano. Together they are a powerful force that powers possibilities.

That’s why they were invited to the My Dream Summit held on the 15th of September, for a fireside chat moderated by Dr. Michael Eric Dyson.

The conversation centered on what it takes to build—not just wealth, but legacy, ownership, and impact. Key highlights include:

• Building Generational Wealth – Moving beyond just earning money to creating sustainable, long-term financial security for Black and Brown communities.
• Building Ownership & Influence – Understanding that true power comes from controlling resources (businesses, investments, capital) rather than just participating in existing systems.
• Building Community & Impact – Using philanthropy, education, and leadership to create pathways for others, ensuring opportunities extend beyond one generation.
• Building Representation – Challenging systemic barriers that prevent Black and Brown leaders from accessing elite spaces.
• Building Leadership & Preparedness – Recognizing that power and influence require preparation, strategy, and resilience. As Kwanza put it: “If you get what you want, will you be ready for what you have?”

My Dream Summit is a transformative and inspirational event designed to empower individuals to pursue their aspirations and realize their full potential.
