Fortune & Forks, a private social collective dedicated to women of color, made a significant impact during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis. Founded by Naomi Wright and Krystal Vega, the organization invited Black women entrepreneurs nationwide to commemorate their achievements alongside women's sports. The Catering to Champions Dinner, featuring personalities like Christina “Ms. Basketball” Ros-Gold Onwude and Brittney Elena, unfolded at Bottleworks Hotel on July 17, honoring women's triumphs in athletics. “We aim to craft luxury experiences for women of color, fostering genuine connections,” Vega expressed. The duo has been organizing dinners for seven years to create networking opportunities often lacking for women, especially women of color. The momentum led to the inception of Fortune & Forks, designed to be a haven for women to celebrate each other’s successes. Active in cities such as Atlanta and New York, this collective also emphasizes personal growth and lasting friendships, aiming to build a powerful community among its members.
