The Black Family Who Built America | Fireside Chat

This inspiring fireside chat brings together two dynamic women whose stories reflect the enduring strength, legacy, and resilience of Black families in shaping America. Cheryl McKissack Daniel represents over 100 years of generational excellence as the fifth-generation CEO of McKissack & McKissack, the oldest Black-owned and female-led construction management firm in the country. She is joined by Ms. Basketball, a cultural force and community advocate whose impact extends far beyond the court. Together, they will explore what it means to build—build families, build institutions, build wealth, and build legacy. This conversation honors the triumphs and trials of Black families who, often against all odds, have literally and figuratively laid the foundation of this nation.
