RECAP
Mosaic Genius is a platform to empower communities of color through innovation, networking and information, helping both individuals, social entrepreneurs and founders to shift their leadership abilities to the next level. Led by the renowned entrepreneur and author Christal Jackson and her social impact agency Head and Heart Philanthropy (HHP), the initiative has been successfully growing for the past seven years with an annual gathering at Martha’s Vineyard, MA. Mosaic Genius has scoured the country to find the best-in-class roster of leaders that represent transformative ideas geared towards creating a more inclusive society.
The program for Mosaic Genius this year is going to be epic! After exponential growth and the exciting need to increase capacity, the Mosaic Genius is headed to Washington, D.C., for an invitation only event supported by Washington’s City Hall. The event expects to host 300 leaders to experience an incredible two and half days of unscripted fireside chats, hands-on workshops, interactive presentations and funding opportunities from the best in industry. Guests are guaranteed to leave not only inspired, but also equipped with new tools to address the modern challenges and opportunities that exist in our current social landscape.
