In my 22-year career, I’ve attended and been part of many award ceremonies, galas, and fundraisers. BlackStars was by far the best one yet. I’m still buzzing. What the PanaGenius team has put together here will forever define the meaning of Black Excellence!
Thank you for this extraordinary celebration of Black Excellence! I am truly humbled to be one of the 2023 honorees, and I am inspired by all of the other amazing leaders in my cohort and those before me. Thank you again for your commitment to sharing the brilliance of our stories in such a powerful way!
It was powerful to see so many Black professionals across different industries. You had folks from tech, finance, law, healthcare…never before have I been to a conference like BlackStars! The synergy was amazing, talk about opportunities for client development, opportunity to mentor others and to be mentored. It was amazing!
I loved the spirit and energy of the BlackStars conference, as much as the professional organization, effortless style, and ideas and insights that were shared. It was a wonderful event with great speakers and a warm and collaborative atmosphere. Everybody there was there to win and help each other. And the organization was fantastic! There was a huge amount of joy, openness, and positivity.
