🌈🎉 Honored to be a Guest Panelist at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition Annual Convention! 🎉🌈
Yesterday, I joined trailblazers in Chicago for important discussions on business funding, government contracts, and key issues like economic justice, voting rights, education, and social impact.
Sharing the stage with influential figures, including Tammy Davis from the Obama Foundation, Larry Irovy, President of the Chamber of Congress, and Shynetta Dockery from Black Contractors United, was truly inspiring.
Soo Kim, Chairman of Ballys Corporation, presented exciting plans for a new casino in Chicago's River North area, emphasizing community engagement.
We also heard from Brandon Johnson, the new Mayor of Chicago, and Don Graves, Deputy Secretary of Commerce, who provided valuable insights into fostering entrepreneurship and economic development.
John Washington Rodgers of Ariel Investments shared his success story and the importance of supporting minority-owned businesses.
Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III, Jesse Jackson's successor, delivered a powerful speech, promising to continue the legacy of advocating for economic and social justice.
Grateful for this impactful event and the chance to contribute to important dialogues.
