On Friday, November 15, 2019, 30 distinguished African-American business leaders and professionals were honored at the inaugural 30 Black Stars Conference and Awards in Houston, TX.
Launched earlier this year by Face2Face Africa, the initiative seeks to advance diversity and inclusion by recognizing the cultural shift taking place in the country and how businesses and corporations can harness it for innovation and global competitiveness.
This year’s honorees represent over 15 nationalities and come from various industries including finance, technology, healthcare, media, law, entrepreneurship, and more. They were honored for their outstanding contributions to the world of business, and their overall impact in their communities and on the U.S. economy.
