Notable guests include Claire Sulmers (your fave CEO of Fashion Bomb Daily!), Jassi Rideaux of RHOP, Amara La Negra, and viral king Tony Talks. With four powerful panels touching on everything from Afro-Latina beauty to personal branding and entrepreneurship, it’s giving boss moves only.

Oh—and did we mention the competitions? With over $40,000 in prize money up for grabs, including a jaw-dropping $20K prize for the Wild & Crazy Hair Competition, the stakes (and styles!) are high. Co-founder Nicole Shuler says it best: “This year’s summit is about community, creativity, and career-changing education.” Head to www.TheHebs.com to secure your spot.
