Named One of the 50 Black Leaders You Should Know in the Twin Cities

Kelli Williams is incredibly honored to be recognized by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal as one of 50 Black leaders you should know in the Twin Cities across business, nonprofit, and public sectors.

This honor is more than a headline, it’s a reflection of the growing momentum in our community to uplift Black leadership, voices, and vision. Kell is proud to be part of that work, and even prouder to be among so many brilliant, purpose-driven changemakers who are shaping the present and future of our region.

The Business Journal has made it clear: building a more inclusive, representative business community is not just necessary, it’s essential. Kelli is grateful for their continued commitment to spotlighting the Black leaders and entrepreneurs who have long been doing the work, often without the recognition they deserve.

At The BrandLab, the team is pushing boundaries and building pathways to equity in the marketing and advertising industry. Through programs rooted in Exposure, Access, Opportunity, and Equity, the org is creating real change for real people.

Thank you to the MSPBJ for this recognition. 

This honor is a reminder: we are not just leading, we are reimagining what leadership can look like.
