AFROTECH is always a powerful experience, but this year is something truly special for Alexa and I. Two years ago, we walked into our first AfroTech, inspired and wide-eyed, dreaming of what we could build in our own backyard. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that tomorrow—yes, TOMORROW—we’re hosting our first-ever gathering at AfroTech! Imagine a rooftop filled with Detroit’s brightest stars, future-forward innovators, and problem-solvers from around the country, coming together to celebrate, connect, and amplify each other.Picture this: stunning views, incredible vibes, and conversations with the type of people who make you believe anything is possible. We’re bringing Detroit’s energy and showcasing our future superstars—Black founders and tech talent who are ready to change the game and set a new standard. This isn’t just another event; it’s the kind of moment that can light a spark, create lasting bonds, and build a community that will carry each other forward.If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something bigger than yourself, here’s your chance. Join us on the Roof, experience the magic, and feel the pulse of a community that believes in a future built by us, for us. This is our big debut, and we’d love to have you right there with us. Help us spread the word, bring your energy, and if you can’t make it, pray for us as we step into this new chapter.A huge thank you to Hilary Doe and the Michigan Growth Office for partnering with us to ensure the world knows Michigan is the place to Live.
