Best Buy's Black ERG Celebrates MLK's Legacy with Inspiring Fireside Chat

Programming example

It was an honor to attend the 34th Annual Dr Martin Luther King Jr Holiday Breakfast hosted by General Mills and UNCF.

We had the privilege of hearing an inspiring fireside chat between Marley Dias and Yohuru Williams. ✨

Marley is truly wise beyond her years. At just 10 years old she launched hashtag#1000blackgirlbooks campaign because the lack of books with Black girls as the main character. As she put it so eloquently, “The intersection of passion and frustration is change making.” 📖

Now at 19 years old, she is a Harvard student, author, activist, and has surpassed her 1k book goal. Dr Martin Luther’s vision and dream is well alive in Marley. We can all learn something from her and youth voices. 🗣️

As the kids say these days, she ate and left no crumbs. 🍽️

Thank you Best Buy for sponsoring this event for the 7th year. Thank you to our Black ERG for extending the invitation. What an incredible and inspirational event. 💙💛
