Brilliant Minds Collective® (BMC) is a culturally focused, 501(c)(3) non-profit Think Tank focused on research and content creation, global community engagement, and economic development. BMC is a think tank like no other. It takes the concept and levels it up by removing the thought leadership solely from the academic space and placing it in the real world. Our careers are characterized by innovation and proven results, BMC is driven by a powerful combination of degreed intelligence and decades of lived and worked experience across the business, entertainment, and political sectors. This group understands how a great idea, in theory, can have disastrous albeit unintended consequences in practice--and our mission is to use on-the-ground intel to better inform policymakers, educators, and companies as they look to improve and create parity for Black lives. Resources and allyship are only as impactful as the cultural competence that guides execution. BMC is a membership-based organization that leverages innovation and engagement to stimulate and sustain generational wealth for the Black community. We develop programs and partnerships with corporations and colleges including internships, ambassador programs, and other events to promote awareness and goodwill that can also be used as tactical intel for economic growth. Funding is generated from membership dues, corporate sponsors, donations, grants, and events, for the purpose of creating opportunities for the advancement of our mission.
