Career Conversations: If you can see it, you can be it.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to work in space exploration, wine making, or health and wellness? 

Join us over the next few weeks as we host a series of weekly conversations designed to recognize and celebrate the achievements of African Americans in unique careers. Come learn about our guest speakers’ industries and hear their inspirational stories. Through these conversations, we hope to provide young people, their parents, guardians, and grandparents with information that can prepare them for their possible journey along some of these unfamiliar career paths.
