Join us on Saturday, September 19, 2020 from 11:00-1:00pm EST for an amazing afternoon of discussion and inspiration at Kusudi International Inc.'s 4th annual Brunch Fundraiser. While we usually gather in Harlem, NYC as friends and community members in support of this great cause, this years virtual event will allow us to connect with supporters around the globe.

 

We're honored to have start-up founder & investment advisor Lydia Idem deliver this year's brunch keynote "Investing in Africa: How To Make Your Money Matter In A Post Covid World". Joining us as host is Frank E. Brady, an award winning poet, educator and Youth Engagement Specialist. Proceeds from this years fundraiser will support efforts to provide medically necessary surgical procedures to students at orphanages within the west African region.
