Economic empowerment event planned during Black History Month in Scottsdale
Posted
Celebrating the Black leaders who have made a difference and inspiring the next generation of women visionaries and entrepreneurs, the Millionaire Mastermind Academy will host a “Female Role Model: Black History Empowerment” event 12-1:30 p.m. MST on Feb. 20.
The economic empowerment program is sponsored by American Landmark Apartments, a multifamily owner-operator, which recently expanded to Tempe, Ariz.
The event will convene a group of Black female role models who will share their journeys, provide insights on taking life and businesses to new heights and encourage attendees to “stand tall, be proud of who you are and make the world understand you were destined for greatness and to solve problems,” a press release stated.
“We know that it’s nearly impossible to be what you can’t see, which is why we’re shining a light on the amazing women changemakers and leaders who make a difference every day,” President/CEO Velma Trayham said in the release. “During Black History Month and every other month, we have the opportunity to lift voices that aren’t always heard and support other women and entrepreneurs in their personal and professional lives.”
Speakers and special guests include:
Velma Trayham, CEO of Thinkzilla Consulting Group, President of Millionaire Mastermind Academy
Teniqua Broughton, Executive Director of the State of Black Arizona, CEO of VerveSimone Consulting
Jackie Johnson, Diversity Program Director for the city of Scottsdale
Ashley Kelly, Vice President and Senior Business Banking Consultant, JP Morgan Chase
Sharee Hurts, Program Manager of Strategic Partnerships, APS.
The event takes place at Skysong3, Thinkzilla Consulting, 1365 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 140. It will also be live-streamed.

The Millionaire Mastermind Academy expanded to Arizona two years ago and has offices in Atlanta, Houston and Miami. The organization offers several annual programs such as a national Entrepreneur Accelerator, Impact AZ 2025 Supplier Diversity Readiness, a Florida-based Real Estate Accelerator and monthly Economic Empowerment Programs to help underserved and excluded groups out of poverty through empowered entrepreneurship, leadership and mindset development.
