0

June 19th marks the day when Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally freed. Now we celebrate Juneteenth as America’s true independence day and honor the remarkable strides and contributions the Black community has made since.

 

In this intimate roundtable discussion, hear how these Black entrepreneurs show the world how they’ve redefined it for themselves in 2022—and discovered its deeper root: an interdependence with their ancestors, their community, and the success they’re forging for tomorrow.  

 

 

Meet Abigail B. 

Consultant, Design & Change Leader, Writer, & Strategist

More than a career—a legacy. From being told she’d never be more than an assistant to becoming the first entrepreneur in her family, Abigail redefined independence and success by embracing her heritage and community.

 

Meet Ryan C.

Expert SharePoint and Office 365 Architect

Ryan’s definition of success is creating a brighter tomorrow.
