“Black History Month is about educating and celebrating Black culture to raise awareness of historic events and heroes,” said Lee Rubin, CEO and Co-founder, Confetti. “We curated this collection to provide an equal balance of education and entertainment to remember and empower all of the complexities and honors of Black History. We’re proud to have created and curated these types of experiences for organizations to help educate their teams and honor Black history to promote acceptance and inclusion in the workplace.”
To curate this collection, Confetti worked with Black entrepreneurs and Black-owned small businesses. “The collective intention behind the experiences is to inspire employees to educate themselves even further on the topics and the history used, making an impact year-round,” added Rubin. Confetti provides an array of unique experiences, to allow for different budgets, head counts and interests.
