These Are The Activations To Try At GU Disruptor Summit
ESSENCE GU Disruptor Summit returns on November 11, 2023, in Atlanta, GA. This year is about being a safe space for young Black women, girls, and gender-expansive youth to come together and fellowship for a day filled with panels, networking, activations and more. The Era of Disruption serves as this year’s theme and an invitation to Zillennials to continue to use their platforms to celebrate all aspects of the Black experience.
“The 2023 summit will celebrate and highlight the powerful voices and creativity among today’s youth as we come together to fellowship around topics & issues ranging from wellness to fashion and culture. The Era of Disruption aims to bring GU audiences to the forefront as we collectively amplify the power of unity,” said Rechelle Dennis, Co-Creator of ESSENCE Girls United.
The one-day event is set to take place at the PC&E sound stage, where there will be significant conversations, a special guest, and a surprise performer. “ESSENCE GU continues to embrace the values of empowerment and leadership,” Dennis says. “With a strong focus on personal development, intellectual growth, and societal change, our initiative has been meticulously curated to inspire young women and girls, creating a ripple effect of disruptors.”
