Adversity has found its way into more lives this past year as our country battles a pandemic while trying to heal from the realities of racial injustice and systemic inequality.
Entrepreneurs are known to not just tolerate uncertainty and adversity, but to thrive because of it. This year we celebrate Black female entrepreneurs and invited students and the community to listen to the lived experiences and powerful stories of our speakers. followed by a panel discussion. The event concluded with an online networking mixer using Mixtroz, an online networking platform founded by one of the speakers. where attendees had the opportunity to build lasting relationships with one another and connect with the storytelling entrepreneurs.
