📌ICYMI: Our Summer 2022 HBCU Fellows started their 10-week venture capital internship yesterday. 🥳
Last week, our HBCUvc family joined our new fellows in the Chicago, ATL, DMV, and Bay Area regions for some good food and great convo! 🍽
A big thanks to all who joined us! ❤️

By passing the #CROWNAct today, the House affirmed that Black is beautiful & so is our hair.
Whether you're a student, an employee, or our next Supreme Court Justice, you deserve to show up as your full self with your head held high.
