Amplifying the 2023 AT&T Rising Future Makers Showcase, the collaborative partners will release "The Futurist" – a three-part series that pairs HBCU students in the fields of STEM, tech, and entrepreneurship with established leaders in their respective fields for a compelling and rich conversation through the lens of mentorship.
This year's content release features in-depth dialogue with Actor Lance Gross, Melissa Butler (Founder of The Lip Bar), and Kimberly Bryant (Founder and CEO Ascend Ventures and the Black Innovation Lab) – tackling introspective and conversational points between the aspiring leaders and the experts.
Black college students find their network through their time at HBCUs. The connections they make with their professors, fellow students, guidance counselors and others provide a great basis for their lives beyond the hallowed halls. With today's need to have a stronger connection in order to solidify one's professional future, opportunities for a student to connect with a leader in their desired industry is invaluable for anyone to find their purpose and greater possibility.
Together, AT&T Dream In Black and One Solution have curated conversations between notable HBCU alumni and current students that will advance a greater connection to support their goals and inspire viewers around the mindset that connecting changes everything. Following the conversation, these featured students will be awarded with a monetary grant and tech package courtesy of AT&T Dream in Black Rising Future Makers.
