Annual REVOLT Summit x AT&T Returns: Programming Empowers Next Generation Of Black Leaders
Leading up to the flagship event, REVOLT and AT&T are premiering a digital content series, ROAD TO SUMMIT - THE WORLD IS YOURS, co-produced by Teyana “Spike Tey” Taylor & the Aunties.
In response to the pandemic, the virtual event and content series will continue the REVOLT Summit x AT&T tradition of creating viral, cultural moments with the young, Black, and vocal audience at the center of history-making events, instilling the idea that “the world is yours.”
The ROAD TO SUMMIT - THE WORLD IS YOURS is an original series that highlights emerging artists, entrepreneurs and creators sharing the trials and triumphs of chasing success.
Offerings include digital episodes on important narratives surrounding Hip Hop and the current cultural climate.
ROAD TO SUMMIT episodes are available to stream at no cost on the REVOLT Summit app and will be released weekly, leading to the 3-day summit in October. This accompanies the return of one-on-one mentoring with AT&T’s Office Hours sessions and all new Executive Chats, virtual group conversations with leading industry executives, including Ghazi Shami, CEO and Founder of EMPIRE.
“The goal of the REVOLT SUMMIT is to empower and inspire the next generation of leaders,” said REVOLT Chairman Sean Combs. “Last year, we had huge success in Atlanta and Los Angeles, and this year we are opening up the REVOLT SUMMIT to the world.
This is a pivotal moment in history and we are bringing together the best minds in entertainment, political activism and business to share their experiences, educate and motivate our community.”
“As we face a critical moment in our history, it’s more important than ever that we create an experience anchored in empowering the next generation of cultural leaders and elevating the Black community globally,” said Detavio Samuels, REVOLT Media & TV COO.
“AT&T is thrilled to be back with REVOLT this year for the first-ever virtual Summit. We recognize the value of Black-owned businesses and continue to put resources towards initiatives that focus on fostering economic growth and innovations within the communities we serve,” said Corey Anthony, chief diversity officer, AT&T. “Now more than ever before, it’s imperative for communities of color to bring our voices together and lead our future generations to success.”
