Tell us about your role at the Foundation?
As Head of Programs and Outreach, I set up programs and develop partnerships that help Afro-descendants achieve professional fulfillment in the cultural, media and artistic spheres. Often, if you see me at an event, it's because I'm there to represent the Foundation.
