One thing about POWER? It's not to be played with... but it IS meant to be SHARED! 👏🏾🔥 EBONY linked up with @kennyburns at @kimblackwellpmm's #TheCulturesColdest Creators Kickback, and he dropped GEMS on what true POWER is... having the freedom to call your own shots, define success on YOUR terms, and knowing when to share it with others! When Black commerce and Black culture collide, it's bigger than ONE week... it's about connecting, celebrating and building something POWERFUL that lasts! 🔥 Kenny gave us HIS definition of POWER... now we want to hear YOURS! Sound off in the comments! 🖤

Not every icon gets an invitation. And not every legacy earns a distinction of its own. This year, EBONY is making room for a select few with the debut of THE COURT, an exclusive new honor reserved for six extraordinary figures whose influence is undeniable, impact is lasting and contributions to the culture put them in a league of their own. Introducing the inaugural EBONY Power 100 Court: Victor Glover (@AstroVicGlover) Brandy (@4everBrandy) Byron Allen (@RealByronAllen) Lena Waithe Keith Lee Flau’jae Johnson (@Flaujae) Presented by @MielleOrganics, THE COURT celebrates a rare class of trailblazers who don’t just participate in culture. They shape it, shift it and leave their mark on generations to come. On November 9, these six icons will receive their well-deserved flowers at the 2026 EBONY Power 100 Gala. The distinction is rare. The company is exceptional. And the impact speaks for itself. Meet THE COURT at #EBONYPower100 #TheStoriesWeShape
