The Inspire STEM Gala is probably the best night of the year. ?? You can feel it from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. ?? There's elegance. There's excellence. There's a vibe. (And that vibe was already there well before the after party started with a host of 90s R&B!) ?? Words don't do the occasion justice, but I'll do my best. ?? With scholarships given out to high school and college students pursuing the STEM fields, you get so much hope for the future. I was fortunate to meet a number of the recipients, including before the program began. ?? It's a wonderful group of young people full of gratitude, talent and the desire to make the world better. ?? The night featured so many great stories with the scholarship recipients and the honorees who have made a career out of making a difference. There were connections made of all kinds, from meeting new people to meeting some whose paths I had crossed but had not met in person. So many others were connecting as the night went on, an incredible scene. ?? I have immense gratitude for the work NSBE Boston Professionals - National Society of Black Engineers puts into making this incredible night happen. Saying it's a first-class event feels like a major understatement. The Inspire STEM Gala is a wonderful occasion all its own. ?? At a time when it's easy to be filled with negativity, it stands out as having everything positive you could want for an evening.
