October 17, 1924: Phyllis Wheatley House was Founded! Phyllis Wheatley Community Center is celebrating a milestone Centennial Birthday! This legacy institution in the heart of North Minneapolis opened its doors to the Twin Cities African American community 100 years ago-and hasn’t changed the mission; to be a center for Black artists, writers, thinkers, and advocates that lead the Harlem Renaissance movement designed to change the narrative on Black Culture. Please take a moment to view all that Phyllis Wheatley Community Center has to offer in the link below. Dr. Amanda Bolton Trent Bowman Bryan Tyner, EFO Scott Morris Phyllis Wheatley Community Center

? Made an appearance on the news today alongside co-organizer Amondo Dickerson on Alexis Rogers "news at noon" show on Kare 11! ?? We had the opportunity to share about the upcoming Microsoft ManCode Mentoring Event, which I’m proud to be a part of. You can check out the video here: https://lnkd.in/gBdWjd_9 This event, now in its 4th year, is all about providing young men of color the chance to learn from local black leaders in tech, business, and beyond. This year, we’re covering everything from AI and robotics to financial literacy, education, and careers in tech/gaming. It's happening at Minneapolis College on October 17th & 18th, and it's FREE for young men ages 12-17! Special thanks to Microsoft, 100 Black Men, Twin Cities, and the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center for keeping this event going. The motto of the 100 Black Men Twin Cities is "What they see is what they'll be," and this event embodies that vision. ???? If you know any young men who could benefit from this program or folks that want to volunteer, please share! Let's continue to lift each other up and make a lasting impact. ???? #ManCode2024 #Mentoring #MicrosoftManCode #TwinCities ?#MNTech #100BMTC

We’re grateful to all who attended our annual #dvamawareness event last week, and to the powerful speakers, Carmita McGlory and Dr. Verna Price for sharing their incredible wisdom. #dvam2024 #healholdcenter #thankyou

Last week, more than 50 secondary and post-secondary educators from local school districts and colleges participated in the annual Minneapolis Regional Chamber’s Educator Externship. Educators met with business leaders, toured facilities from five in-demand industry tracks, and made professional connections. Participating educators will share the knowledge they gained with students to help inform career options, highlight important skills and connect them to local employment opportunities. Thanks to the Hennepin West Consortium for their continued support and partnership on this event. We are so grateful to the amazing business partners who helped us make this event a success: Accenture, Aon, Apple Tree Dental, BioLife Plasma Services, Bridging MN, CenterPoint Energy, City of Bloomington, MN, City of Minneapolis, CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen), Faegre Drinker, Foxtrot Marketing Group, Hennepin Healthcare, Huntington National Bank, Life Link III, MNGI Digestive Health, Morrissey Hospitality, Mortenson, Phyllis Wheatley Community Center, Polar Semiconductor, Science Museum of Minnesota, SkyWater Technology, StarTribune Media Company LLC, Takeda, and Xcel Energy.
