The Ebony Tie Affair

Next Gen Experience

Saturday, November 22, 2025
6:30 – 9:00 PM

The Cannon House
34 S. State Street
Dover, DE 19904

While the Ebony Tie Affair event celebrates achievement, fosters networking, and honours legacy, Next Gen focuses on what comes after the celebration. It is the structured pathway, the mentorship accelerator, and the community network that ensures rising Black men don’t simply attend great events — they grow into visible, influential leaders.

Our Mission:
To empower the next generation of Black male professionals by providing access to senior networks, delivering targeted development opportunities, and creating a visible platform for leadership.

During the event, attendees will participate in breakout sessions facilitated by Black men with lived experience in:

  • Investing 102 — wealth-building in the early stages of your career.
  • Fatherhood & Advocacy — navigating family, identity, and work-life balance.
  • Dating & Lifestyle Alignment — making intentional relationship and career choices.
  • Along with cross-stage mentoring, bringing early-career and established professionals together to exchange wisdom, opportunity, and support.

“This is more than a networking night — it’s the start of real community.
You’ll leave with new brothers, new knowledge, and new momentum
toward the life you’re building.”
