On Thursday, November 2nd, we commemorated seven years of our bold mission to empower and uplift Black youth through entrepreneurship at our annual fundraiser, 

 UNTAPPED: Powering the Possibilities For a New Generation of Black Entrepreneurs. 

It was an inspiring and mission-driven evening filled with delicious food, an open bar, live art painting by Ewrks and KALIEF, raffle prizes, and a Gray Matter Alumni showcase.
