The Gathering

The Gathering originated from a shared vision to create a proverbial welcome mat for Black talent arriving in Wichita. Receiving and supporting the best of local resources, comforts, and opportunities provides big-picture perspective for transplants and natives alike. Wichita has an extraordinarily resilient and accomplished community of African Americans, and we are stronger together.

With this vision in mind, The Gathering aims to:

1. be a landing space for Black professionals.

2. intentionally connect Black professionals to cultivated opportunities.

3. determine how members can best benefit and support each other's diverse talents.

The overarching goal is to be a vital community resource that cultivates and retains Black talent in Wichita through relationship building, mentorships, professional development, social engagement, board participation, and entrepreneurial support.

The G-Team will be our speakers today:

Dr. Prisca Barnes, EdD, Founder/CEO Storytime Village

Latasha Eley Kelly, PhD, Founder/CEO, The Millennial Black Professor

Corinthian Kelly, Initiatives Manager, Stand Together Foundation

Darryl Kelly, Director of Business Partnerships, Kansas Leadership Center
