Building Community: Yetunde Oso at the Black Entrepreneur Tour
The Spring Formal of Doing Far More LLC’s Black Entrepreneur Tour, held at The Grand UpperRoom in Katy, TX, was a landmark event for Houston’s Black business community—a gathering where legacy, wealth-building, and community empowerment took center stage. Among the highlights was an intimate, insightful interview between Roselyn Omaka of Bolanle Media and the venue’s owner, Yetunde Oso, whose story and perspective resonated deeply with attendees.
A Visionary Host: Yetunde Oso
Yetunde Oso, Founder and Creative Director of The UpperRoom Events, is renowned for her expertise in orchestrating memorable, meaningful gatherings. Her commitment to excellence and her role as a community beacon were evident throughout the Spring Formal. As the host, Oso provided not just a beautiful space, but also a spirit of hospitality and purpose that set the tone for the entire afternoon.
The Interview: A Conversation on Legacy and Pre-Planning
During the event, Roselyn Omaka sat down with Yetunde Oso for a candid conversation that quickly became a highlight of the day. The interview delved into the importance of pre-planning and succession planning within families—topics that are often overlooked but critical for generational stability and wealth.
Oso shared personal reflections, noting, “I come from a large family, but I also come from a background where sometimes we don’t believe in ensuring that everyone is protected. It’s cultural.” She recounted her own experience with the loss of a parent and the challenges that arose due to insufficient financial planning. “For me, it’s important that you have that financial backing, that you have insurance to ensure that when you do pass, the family members are well taken care of,” she emphasized.
Her openness underscored the event’s core message: legacy planning is not just about assets, but about safeguarding loved ones and empowering future generations.
The Power of Community and Education
Oso’s interview was more than a personal story—it was a call to action for all in attendance. By sharing her journey, she illuminated the cultural barriers to pre-planning and the urgent need for education within the community. Her words echoed the mission of Doing Far More LLC and its founder, Mrs. Donna Marshall-Payne: to equip Black families and entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge needed to build, protect, and pass on their legacies.
A Gathering with Purpose
The Spring Formal was more than a networking event. It was a celebration of life, family, and future possibilities, where guests left with practical strategies for generational wealth and a renewed sense of purpose. The collaboration between Doing Far More LLC, Yetunde Oso, and Bolanle Media exemplified what’s possible when visionary leaders unite for a cause greater than themselves.
