SHARED INTEREST'S 28TH ANNIVERSARY VIRTUAL GALA
This year, we will come together to highlight the distinguished accomplishments of business leaders who have shown unparalleled leadership amid the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic in the discovery and development of innovative solutions through technology that is critical to accelerating the growth and impact that black entrepreneurs can have in starting businesses, creating jobs, and improving livelihoods in rural African communities.
We will pay special tribute to the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu for his commitment to South Africa's Liberation struggle, civil rights and social justice -- and as a longstanding global ambassador who served as Honorary Chair of Shared Interest's Board of Advisors while also honoring global leaders who are working to create thriving digital economies that support rural tech-based entrepreneurship, small and growing businesses, and job creation while making strategic investments in emerging markets in Africa.
