Another highlight from last week is that BAM Midwest hosted another successful Student Minority Day at the Microsoft Innovation Hub in Minnesota! 🎉
At this event, we welcomed 90+ high school students from around the Twin Cities. The day included a keynote by Dieumerci Christel Founder, a hands-on AI workshop with Microsoft Copilot, a Financial Literacy Workshop, and a Career Panel featuring:
🎤 Jote Taddese Tadesse – VP at Optum
🛡️ Peju Nordvik MS, CISA Nordvick – Cybersecurity at Microsoft
🤝 Ahman Airitam Amiritan – Deal Manager at Microsoft
💡 Haftom Dessalegn – AI Hardware Engineer at Microsoft
For lunch, we enjoyed some amazing Jamaican food from Nanny’s Jamaican Kitchen.
The students stayed engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and had the chance to network with Microsoft and other tech professionals. It’s always inspiring to see the next generation of talent getting excited about tech and their future careers! 🚀
I’m honored to be part of the BAM MW team! 🙌 Kudos to Sosena Alemayehu, Lovell Davis, Dontavis Funderburk, Mattea Hullander (Nybo), Ahman Airitam, Peju Nordvik MS, CISA, Robin Tinnie, and Corey Bullard for the incredible work and impact you’re making. 💪
