✨ Baobab Nights: Tomorrow's Dreams
Omek brings you Baobab Nights: Tomorrow's Dreams ✨ an evening of community, self-reflection, and joy in honour of October’s Black Achievement Month.
This special Black Achievement Month edition explores futurity, grounding us in an understanding of history as a tool to imagine and build the future we want. Through games, conversation, and connection, we’ll build a collective vision of what that future looks like and how we each contribute to it daily.
Shout out to The Extra Mile for opening their door to us once again! 🤝🏽
What to expect? 🤩
• Mingle with like-minded creators and thought leaders from various backgrounds.
• Attend inspiring conversations where everyone can take the stage and connect with peers through games and networking activities.
• Feed your body and soul with music, drinks, and complimentary food, and good company.
“It was beautiful to see so many black and brown smiling faces engaged in genuine conversations. The conversations went quite deep from the get go, without being awkward or too tense. People came with an open heart, and that you could see and feel!”
— Naomi Williams, Career Advisor, Esade Impact Team Lead
