We are grateful to everyone who joined us for an inspiring conversation with Devon Henry and CEO Corey Taylor.
Devon shared the importance of having sponsors in your life, people who do more than mentor. Sponsors advocate for you, open doors, and create access to opportunities and spaces you might never encounter on your own.
He reflected on the people who championed him throughout his journey, including Jim Ukrop, who not only offered advice and encouragement but also intentionally introduced Devon to other business leaders, helping create opportunities that shaped his path.
Devon also spoke about the power of exposure for young people growing up in communities like Richmond's East End, where generations of inequitable policies and disinvestment have limited access to professional networks, role models, and career pathways.
As Devon reminded us, you can't dream about something you've never seen. By expanding opportunities, connections, and visibility, we help young people imagine new possibilities for their futures.
We are especially grateful to our presenting sponsor, Genworth and to all of our event sponsors including our media sponsor K 101.2 Pop, and our table host, Bank. Your partnership helped make this event possible.
And special thanks to Midnights Soulfood & Catering who created a delicious lunch menu for our guests.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this conversation so meaningful.
