🔥AfroTech 2024! The blackexcellencebrunch was so much more than brunch—it was a celebration of Black excellence, a call to action, and a powerful moment of connection. I was honored to lead this activation alongside my tribe: trellworld, the visionary founder of the blackexcellencebrunch ; my best friend marquisali123, whose brilliance always shines; and my amazing leader lifeabundantly__, who made it possible❤️.

💌In the photo, we’re joined by our dear friend beloved1906 the GM of blavity  and founder of blavityhouseparty and an inspiring leader we had the privilege of honoring 💐, and Alice my powerhouse Vice President, a trailblazing leader who embodies the strength and resilience of Black women executive in tech.

📌This event was about recognizing the brilliance of Black creators and leaders in tech while confronting our shared responsibility as leaders. We cannot let technology evolve past our underrepresented communities. We must lift as we climb, pour into one another, and ensure no one is left behind. Our identities are not obstacles; they are assets. They shape our perspectives, drive innovation, and inspire us to lead boldly and authentically.

📌At amazonwebservices, we’re proud to sponsor such meaningful moments, honoring the innovators and creators shaping the future. Black excellence isn’t just an idea; it’s a movement. Together, we’re building legacies, breaking barriers, and proving that representation isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Cheers to community, innovation, and rising together. 🖤
