Joshua Luke

Founder of Monarch International LTD, the first African American LGBTQ+ consulting and tech firm that specializes in helping African American LGBT Corporate and Non-Profit Companies build revenue and expand their reach by up to 150%. My company started as a black consulting firm focused on helping African American LGBT entrepreneurs grow their businesses from the start, including securing their first round of funding. I graduated from Florida International University in 2010 with a degree in International Business and a secondary major in English. After working at a consulting firm in Miami for 6 years, I became the managing director for the chamber of the Netherlands in Fort Lauderdale. I then moved to Atlanta and worked with EBANMAN Inc as Vice President, before starting my own consulting firm. Now, we have expanded into technology and continue to assist small businesses, while also launching two new apps. The first app is a black LGBT media streaming and news network app, set to launch next year.
