Yall still falling for this bullshyt lmao. Isn't it interesting that the number one way people fleece under privileged, under educated communities is with these types of stupid financial scams? What does this conference do to help black people at fukking all, besides line Tariq's pockets? This is literally how pyramid schemes operate. This is how prosperity churches operate.
Miss me with comparisons to engineering conferences where you can actually improve your career, find better employment, network, etc. Compared to a conference where speaks tell you jack shyt of worth. I keep saying it in these Tariq/youtube personality threads. Stop watching this bullshyt and go read a fukking book. Go read a fukking publication. Go read a fukking article. You are embarrassing yourselves. These charlatons literally do nothing but complain, make terrible arguments, and ask you for money. That's it.
Conferences are often scams that waste time, money, and don't teach people ANYTHING. Revolt just had a conference in LA about the music industry. Big names attended, paid money to go to all types of speeches and Q&As. I guarantee you 90% of the people in that arena left with no knowledge they couldn't have gotten for free online or in a library, didn't make any meaningful industry contacts, and a year from now will likely be in the same position they are in today. The 10% who benefited will be the chicks who found new sugar daddies and wack local rappers who found local producers to steal beats from. That shyt is not a good way to get "in" MOST industries unless you have an actual real job or resume.
