Black Eco Chamber
The Black Eco Chamber is a business development incubator designed to serve black-owned businesses.
Some conversations stay with you long after the event ends.
This was one of them.
Last year’s BECO Expo at the Columbia Tower Club featured an unforgettable keynote conversation between Shyan Selah and Omar Gooding that blended business insight, entertainment industry experience, entrepreneurship, and plenty of laughter.
Omar has a unique ability to make people laugh while delivering lessons that matter. Throughout the conversation, he shared honest perspectives on building a career, creating opportunities, staying authentic, and thinking beyond success toward lasting legacy.
These are the kinds of moments BECO was created to foster. Bringing together leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals for conversations that challenge perspectives, spark ideas, and strengthen our community.
Looking back, this was one of many reminders that the right conversation at the right time can change the direction of someone’s journey.
If you attended BECO Expo last year, what was your biggest takeaway? If you weren’t there, who would you love to see on the BECO stage in the future?

What happens when actor and entrepreneur @omargooding Gooding gets real about business, entertainment, and building a legacy?
You get a room full of entrepreneurs taking notes one minute… and laughing out loud the next.
#throwbacktuesday To one of the standout moments from last year’s BECO Expo at the Columbia Tower Club was this unforgettable conversation between Omar Gooding and @shyanselah .
Omar shared honest insights on navigating the entertainment industry, creating opportunities beyond your career, and thinking bigger than success. He delivered it all with the authenticity, humor, and perspective that have made him a respected voice both on and off the screen.
At BECO, we believe the right conversation can spark a new idea, a new connection, or even a new direction.
This was one of those conversations.
