In an effort to continue to deliver on the company’s mission of reshaping the pan-African narrative, Face2face Africa is launching a new empowerment masterclass event series, FACETalk, to mobilize black professionals and help equip them with a vision for a legacy-shift through personal and professional development, transformational leadership, social impact, financial wellness, and more.
FACETalk will engage today’s most iconic leaders and celebrated figures from various industries in an intimate dialogue about their personal journey to success, overcoming obstacles, and how they are shaping a new legacy for their families and communities.
“People of African descent in the U.S., particularly immigrants and their children, are at the forefront of a new social, economic and cultural shift propelled by high educational attainment, steady population growth, entrepreneurship and business success. FACETalk was designed to spotlight the transformational leaders and trailblazers in the community, and help provide a concrete roadmap for others seeking to transform their lives both personally and professionally”, said Sandra Appiah-Boateng, CEO of Face2face Africa.
