CBX Vibe

It's been a long time coming but it looks like women's sports is receiving the much-awaited recognition and commensurate investment if the recent revenue projections are anything to go by. Just last year, women's elite sports was projected to hit a revenue of $1.28 billion but surpassed and hit $1.88 billion. And this is not just a one-hit wonder. Women's elite sports revenue has been on a steady rise over the last four years amounting to 240%. 

U.S. Consumer Confidence Slides Down 15%   

CBX Vibe:

Money talks, and right now Americans aren't feeling confident about their financial future. Consumer confidence numbers crashed to 92.9 for March 2024, hitting lows not seen since early 2021. The numbers paint a stark picture. While unemployment sits at a seemingly healthy 4.2%, over half of consumers view the economy through a negative lens. 

Could The U.S. Golden Visa Be A Pathway to Prosperity Or A Gatekeeper? 

CBX Vibe:

If you have $1 million to spare, America may be rolling out the welcome mat. The U.S. is reportedly considering launching a "golden visa" program– a policy with far-reaching cultural and economic implications. This residency-by-investment policy could allow the wealthy to buy their way into citizenship through real estate or business investments. It's not new—Portugal introduced a similar program in 2012, generating more than $7.2 billion in economic activity by 2024..

Elon Musk’s xAI firm has acquired the social media platform X for $33 billion. Is this acquisition a game-changing move, or is it another example of Musk overextending his influence across industries?

A. "Bad Decisions" by Trey Songz – The acquisition seems like a misstep, driven more by Musk’s ego than by a clear, sustainable strategy
B. "Visions" by Wiz Khalifa – Musk’s acquisition of X reflects his forward-thinking vision, where AI and social media converge which could be a power play to solidify his dominance in the tech world
C. "Toxic" by Kehlani – Musk’s acquisition could lead to the downfall of X, as users might become wary of the increasing influence of AI on their social interactions.

The Future Of Digital Transformation Is In The Hands Of Tech Entrepreneurs              

CBX Vibe:

The world is rapidly changing and each industry is leaning towards digital transformation to scale their businesses.

Why Black Wealth Isn’t Built With Brick & Mortar Yet            

CBX Vibe:

Homeownership is supposed to be the great equalizer. Buy a home, build equity, get on the ladder, move up in life. But in 2025, Black families are still largely locked out of that promise. And it’s not for a lack of ambition. Let’s talk numbers—briefly. Only 44.1% of Black Americans own homes. White Americans? 74.5%. That gap is wider than it was 60 years ago.
