From September to October 2022, we hosted three End of Summer Celebrations with the first event being held in the Bay Area, CA (on September 22) to honor our Oakland and Richmond cohorts (OAK9 Black, OAK9 Gold, OAK10 Black, OAK10 Gold, RICH5, and RICH6), the second event in Inglewood, CA (September 27) to shine a light on our Los Angeles cohorts (LA1, LA2, and LA3), and lastly in Detroit, MI (October 8) to celebrate our inaugural Detroit (DET1) cohort.
Supported by friends, family, community partners, and generous sponsors, all of our Geniuses stepped into the spotlight to celebrate their hard work at our series of 2022 End of Summer Celebrations. Thank you all for coming out and showing up for our next generation of leaders.
