🌟 Unforgettable 🌟 Last week(ish), I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in southern France. It was a whirlwind of reconnecting with old friends, making new connections, and engaging in thought-provoking discussions around AI and creativity. 💖One of the highlights was sponsoring a fellow to travel to Cannes, France, with the Cannes Can: Diversity Collective, promoting inclusivity and diversity in the industry. I also had the privilege of hosting a captivating evening of conversation alongside the a16z Cultural Leadership Fund and AI at Meta, featuring cultural icons like André 3000, Robin Arzon, Drew Butler & more. Special thank you to Charlton Gholson & Nathaniel Barling for joining me as we led a truly captivating discussion and delved into the practical applications of AI, emphasizing its role in our daily lives beyond just science fiction. At a16z Cultural Leadership Fund, we aim to bridge the gap between cultural leaders and top tech companies by empowering young African Americans in the tech sector. AI is not a distant concept; it's rapidly integrating into our lives, revolutionizing how we interact with technology. A heartfelt thank you to new friends and old. Cheers to my fellow innovators for embarking on this journey with me. It was great seeing you in Cannes 💋🇫🇷 Amanda Slavin, Ashumi Sanghvi, Carlota Rodben, Felicity Fellows, Francesca Hogi, Chrysi Philalithes, Julie M.
