Celebrating Black Excellence & Achievement
Description
Join us for a special evening honoring Black Excellence & Achievement as we celebrate Black History Month!
This month, we present a unique opportunity to connect with the Bay's leading, young, diverse professionals, to discover more about the initiatives of #YesWeCode and to hear from accomplished black leaders that exemplify excellence in our community.
The #YesWeCode initiative targets low-opportunity youth and provides them with the necessary resources and tools to become world-class computer programmers. In uplifting our youth this way, we shift the trajectory of their futures and transform their relationships in their communities and their country.

-
Van Jones - Leader, CNN Contributor, & President of Rebuild The Dream
-
Enitan Bereola II - Bestselling Author, Speaker, and Columnist
-
Jolen Anderson - Chief Diversity Officer, Visa

Charles Hudson - Venture Partner, Precursor
