January 18, 2021: “Blacks Give Back”
In the wake of the pandemic and George Floyd, many vulnerabilities of the Black community have been exposed. Martin Luther King Day has become a day of service and a time we reflect on the fight for justice… and often we find there’s JUST US. We look at the importance and future of Philanthropy for the Black community.
Hosted by Ken Rye, Ken Rye Marketing, our speakers include Christal Jackson, Head and Heart Philanthropy and Mosaic Genius; Steven J. Casey, The MacArthur Foundation and Dr. Adrienne Booth Johnson, Infinity Global Connections.
The session will be Live on Facebook on the #MOBESymposium page, facebook.com/MOBESymposium and on the YouTube channel, MOBE Symposium. #blackowned #LegacyMatters #onlyatmobe #mobeaccelerates #ujima #MOBEUjima #MOBEGivesBack #philanthropy #BlacksGiveBack
