Janice Bryant Howroyd is proof that vision, persistence, and bold leadership can build empires. As the founder of ActOne Group, she owns the largest Black woman–owned business in the world — generating over $2 billion in annual revenue. Let that sink in. Billion. With a “B.” She started her company with just $1,500, a small office, and a big belief in herself. No massive investors. No shortcuts. Just strategy, work ethic, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Today, her global workforce management company operates in multiple countries, serving major corporations and creating opportunities for thousands of people. Her journey is bigger than business. It’s about breaking ceilings in rooms where few expected her to succeed. It’s about representation in corporate leadership. And it’s about showing future entrepreneurs — especially young Black women — that scale is possible. From a modest beginning to a multibillion-dollar enterprise, Janice Bryant Howroyd didn’t just build a company. She built legacy.

Most people recognize the man on the right—actor Darryl Bell, best known as Ron Johnson from the hit show A Different World. But many don’t know that his father, Travers Bell Jr., co-founded the first Black-owned firm on the New York Stock Exchange in 1971. With just $175,000 in starting capital, he built Daniels & Bell Inc. into a thriving Wall Street securities company valued at nearly $15 million by the time of his death in 1988. Travers was also a major shareholder in Freedom National Bank and Cocoline Chocolate Co., the company that produced chocolate chips for Nabisco.

When Travers died at age 46 from a heart attack, he left his multimillion-dollar enterprise to his son Darryl—a decision that proved challenging. Due to limited financial experience, Darryl ultimately lost most of his father’s wealth, gradually depleting the assets completely. The story carries an important lesson: if we don’t prepare our children to manage the wealth we work hard to create, those assets can easily become liabilities for the next generation.
