Pharrell Williams has launched a new initiative that will serve as a springboard for Black and Latinx business people. The project, Black Ambition, will award funds and mentorship to Black and Latinx entrepreneurs who are establishing startups in tech, design, healthcare, and consumer products. Aspirants can apply for their chance to win the grand prizes - which range from $250,000 to $1 million - on the venture's website.
Pharrell announced the program on Dec. 2, sharing an Instagram video - captured by filmmaker A.V. Rockwell - that spotlights the beauty of Black excellence. "Honored to launch and introduce Black Ambition(@blackambitionprize)," the 47-year-old star captioned the post. "Our goal with #BlackAmbition is to close the opportunity and wealth gap through entrepreneurship... investing capital and resources in high-growth startups founded by Black and Latinx Hbcu students and entrepreneurs.
