Bishop T.D. Jakes wants to help Black entrepreneurs build wealth and he’s using the Good Soil Forum to reach them. With over 300,000 Black women reportedly losing jobs in the past threemonths, Bishop T.D. Jakes is speaking out about the economic challenges facing Black communities. One way he hopes to address them is through his Good Soil Forum conference, which is taking place in Dallas, TX, this week.
The world is shifting and the economy is evolving. In an era of change, uncertainty, and rapid digital transformation, entrepreneurs, investors, and thought leaders are uniting to provide strategies for business growth and ownership. Good Soil Forum 2025 is more than a conference—it’s an ecosystem where innovators, momentum builders, and wealth creators come together to fund, mentor, and elevate the next generation of entrepreneurs.

- 2.This is where capital finds vision.
- 3.This is where businesses move beyond survival—to lasting impact.
T.D. Jakes has stated that Good Soil Forum is his effort to connect entrepreneurs with capital,grant resources, and business education. The foundation will be giving out $500,000 to Black business owners in a pitch competition at the conference. He also pointed to the need for successful Black businesses to get investments so they can level up beyond startup mode.
