Virtual & In Person; Thursdays 1P - 5PM EST

This is our shared focus space to get things done together, virtually and in person. Every Thursday, all members are invited to join LIVE coworking sessions in our Slack #cowork channel. Each Session uses Slack huddle (an audio room inside the channel) so we can check in and work alongside other members in real time. View Full Schedule by clicking here.

Use this space for: planning • budgeting • admin • content • emails • client work • life tasks

Why Cowork with Black Excellence Network?

Coworking with BEN is not just background noise. It is built-in support so you are not figuring everything out alone.

• Accountability: Say what you are working on and let the room hold you to it.
• Brains on demand: Use the huddle to run ideas by someone, get quick feedback, or sense-check next steps.
• Network in motion: See what other members are building, swap resources, and find people to collaborate with.
• Maximize your investment: These sessions are dedicated time to push your own goals forward, not just attend another event.
