Our keynote speaker was Councilwoman Dr. Jamelle McKenzie of the College Park City Council, who reinforced the importance of tackling critical economic issues faced by everyday Americans.
Topics of discussion included creating economic stability, fostering upward mobility, civic education, workforce development, and entrepreneurship.
At Our America, we strongly support “unity in the community” as one of our core values and we believe in empowering individuals and families with the knowledge and resources to thrive.
This was truly a multicultural, multigenerational, and multicollar event bringing together diverse voices.
Attendees shared a meal together and all left feeling more knowledgeable about this issue as they engaged in open discussion with their peers.
A special thank you to our Hometown Heroes Elvia Davila for the opening prayer, Clark Dean for leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance, and Kualanee Davis for the closing prayer.
We were thrilled to host such a successful event, and we’re looking forward to holding more on this topic in the near-future.
