Our team at Event Fab had the opportunity to collaborate with Events By Andre Wells to produce a spectacular event called The Humanity of Connection, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City. The event aimed to celebrate the power of human connectivity and the groundbreaking achievements of African Americans, showcasing the technologies that connect and chronicle these achievements. We provided event fabrication services, event design, furniture rentals, live social media feeds on LED walls, and a dance floor to ensure that the event was a resounding success.
It was an honor for us to be part of this exceptional event, which featured notable honorees, including legendary actress Cicely Tyson, the first African American actress to win an Emmy Award and appear as a series regular on a prime television series. Other honorees included Michelle Ebanks, the President of Essence Communications, Inc., the leading magazine for Black women; Angela Rye, the Principal and CEO of IMPACT Strategies, a CNN Political Commentator, and NPR analyst; and bestselling author and social entrepreneur Wes Moore, the CEO of Robin Hood.
The Humanity of Connection was conceived by Tanya Lombard, head of Multicultural Engagement and Strategic Alliances for AT&T, and we were thrilled to be a part of bringing her vision to life. Our team was proud to contribute our expertise to make this event a resounding success and to celebrate the remarkable achievements of African Americans.
