This is the weekend we have all been waiting for.

Face2Face Africa brings us the 5th installment of their Pan-African Weekend, celebrating trailblazers across the Pan-African community.

This year’s honorees are a group of inspirational heroes with uniquely fascinating stories to tell. They have made a tremendous impact in their respective fields and are leaving a legacy that will forever shape and influence the pan-African community and the world.

The group includes Rosa Whitaker, Founder CEO and president of The Whitaker Group, Wyclef Jean, Grammy Award Winning Artist and Humanitarian, Marcus Samuelsson, Renowned Celebrity Chef and Entrepreneur, Vanessa De Luca, Editor-In-Chief of Essence Magazine, and Wale Adeosun, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Kuramo Capital.

The awards gala will be hosted by TV Personality and Entrepreneur, Tai Beauchamp. The star-studded night closes off with an after party at The Vermilion 480 lexington ave NY, NY 10167.
