- Account Executive, Stay Ai

"One of my long term wishes as a Black woman committed to seeing Black men win in and out of the workplace, has been for Black men to have a space where their professional and psychological needs are centered - the THRIVE conference was that space. I was incredibly impressed with the seamless execution, value of the content and sessions, and the sense of warmth and camaraderie that was felt throughout. It truly felt like “family."
