This year marks the 10th year of the Business to Business Exchange & Expo. This year’s theme, “Celebrating the Legacy: Embracing Our Future” recognizes that the success of today’s African American business owners rests on the foundation of bold entrepreneurs.

Cathy Hughes has been Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Secretary of Radio One since 1980, and was C.E.O. of Radio One from 1980 to 1997. She was one of the founders of Radio One’s predecessor company in 1980. Radio One is the largest African American owned and operated broadcast company in the United States. There are now 53 radio stations in sixteen markets and a cable network, TV One.

In May of 1999, Cathy Hughes and her son Alfred Liggins (President & CEO) took their company public. Hughes made history again by becoming the first African American woman with a company on the stock exchange. Radio One’s value is currently in excess of $2 Billion. The Washington Post describes Hughes as “the Voice of the Black community.” Her stations now reach more than 18 million black listeners daily.
