Join DivInc and Black Girl Ventures for And Still We Rise on Wednesday, November 13. For information and to register: https://lu.ma/divincafrotech 

Efforts to create supportive, inclusive environments for underrepresented entrepreneurs are under attack nationwide.

​Thanks to the forward-thinking leadership of the Fearless Fund, programs like DivInc and others still have legal leeway to directly fund minority groups. But the fight is far from over.

​DivInc is excited to be back at AfroTech with Black Girl Ventures for a revisit of last year’s panel: And Still We Rise. Join us for a timely discussion with our partners on how we will continue to fight for our right to correct the wrongs of history.
