The Tacoma Urban League is excited to host our 2023 Empowerment Awards Dinner which will be held at
Hotel Murano on Friday, October 20, 2023 at 6 PM.
This year’s event will feature a Fireside Chat on Black tech, entrepreneurialism, leadership, and social justice with SoLo Funds and Culture House Co-Founder Rodney Williams, King County Councilmember Grimay Zahilay, and Black Future Co-op Fund Co-Founder and Washington State Senator T’wina Nobles.
We invite you to support community again this year and join us at this important celebration as we recognize, and are inspired by, some of our most influential community leaders.
