We did it! Will come back later with a proper post and the fancy pictures. But this photo was taken at the very end of our Paris Olympics demo day and a full week of programming, yesterday with our amazing US Black Ambition entrepreneurs, my brilliant and hardworking team, partners, judges, and our special guests. My heart is so full it’s bursting at the seams. To the number of people that told us not to do it, not to acknowledge and celebrate diverse entrepreneurs in France, that it was impossible to do what we were planning to do, this is what standing in impossibility looks like! ❤️🚀 Congratulations to all our Paris Entrepreneurs
