Welcome Virtual & Closing General Session Pre-Show
Close out the final day with our virtual welcome to keep you up-to-date on the program and platform. Then let's launch into the Closing General Session with the Pre-Show tuning in live from Austin, TX featuring The Peterson Brothers. The Peterson Brothers combine infectious energy and modern grooves with jazz, funk, blues & soul to create their own unique sound. They’ve opened for legendary artists including Gary Clark Jr., Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Jesse Johnson (The Time), Willie Nelson, B.B. King, New Power Generation (Prince’s longtime band), Buddy Guy and more. Notable performances include: the Chicago Blues Festival, Minnesota State Fair, Texas State Fair, Riverbend Festival, Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival and many others, and now SHRM INCLUSION.
Ebony Blake
EBONY BLAKE is a native of Dayton, OH and a graduate of Wright State University. Most recently, she opened the San Francisco production of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child at the Curran Theatre. Her regional theatre appearances include Little Shop of Horrors (Portland Center Stage), Black Nativity (Classical Theatre of Harlem), and Nefertiti: A Concert of Music and Dance (alongside the Deeply Rooted Dance Theater). Ebony’s favorite job was traveling across the U.S. in the first national tour of the musical, The Book of Mormon, written by the creators of South Park. She’s an avid reader, loves to make her husband snort-laugh, and she thinks she could be on Jeopardy, but is probably more suited for Family Feud.
