On February 26th, we hosted an inspiring Black History Panel celebrating leadership, innovation, and community impact at Southfield Library.
A huge thank you to our incredible panelists:
• Keith Powell, Vice President of Sales at JSaff Digital & a valued B2B partner of Oakland Thrive
• Christianne Malone, Chief Program Officer at TechTown Detroit & Partner of Oakland Thrive
• Tunesia Turner, District 2 Liaison at Detroit Economic Growth Corporation & Partner of Oakland Thrive
And a special thank you to our amazing moderator, Oakland Thrive’s own Camille Walker Banks, for guiding such a powerful and engaging conversation.
Together, they shared insights on leadership, economic empowerment, and building pathways for opportunity in our communities. Conversations like these remind us that Black history isn’t just something we celebrate – it’s something we continue to shape every day.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so meaningful!
