Hear powerful reflections and real stories from attendees and speakers who’ve been inspired, empowered, and moved to action.
It was an awesome experience! I participated as a vendor and had the opportunity to network with amazing people from all walks of life—IT professionals, lawyers, tech experts, and healthcare workers. I honestly wish the space was even bigger because of how impactful it was. I truly thank the organizers for putting this together, and I look forward to being part of it again very soon.
I’m a recent graduate from Georgia State University and currently interning with the mayor’s office—that’s how I got to know about this amazing event. I’m so happy I came today; it has truly been an incredible experience. I’m leaving with so much knowledge and understanding. I especially enjoyed the breakout session, where I got to learn directly from a business owner.
This AIM collective brings together Africans who are eager to be in community and give back. It’s attracting the right kind of people—leaders and builders—and that’s really inspiring to me. My time here has been meaningful and well-invested. I truly encourage Stella and her husband to keep going, because what they’re doing has a powerful impact. Thank you.”
