Black Cultural Archive’s 40×40 Future Leaders Ambassadors will share their personal stories and how they navigated their way to success in various sectors, which include, technology, health, education, business start-ups and more. They will do so whilst mentoring, engaging, networking and inspiring young people to aspire to their dream career. Featuring REAL models – not role models.
