Sis Got Tea - Innovations and Accomplishments of the African American Community Today with Kapri Robinson

February 18th | 6 PM EST

Join Kapri Robinson, president of Chocolate City’s Best, as she spills the tea and walks us through the innovations and accomplishments of the African American community today. It's important to pause and reflect on how African Americans and our ancestors have helped to further progress—often overcoming great odds in the process. We need to give credit where credit is due.
