Well, hey, everybody, it's Justin. Guess you're wondering where I've been. Atlanta for the blackest tech 2023 conference. Let me tell you about it. Amazing, amazing, powerful space of black excellence and beauty when it comes to technology professionals. And so let me tell you a little about it. I went to a Generative AI session, to sessions on leadership and technology, to law and artificial intelligence, to gaming, all the way to leadership and sponsorship with Diana Allen. Amazing session. To innovation and clarity, to my favorite session with Renee Reed from LinkedIn. Then there was an expo. From Space to FanDuel to Amazon Services to Equity Commons. You got to check them out in terms of really engaging. And then this one artistic media pause for them. Go grab that. We're bringing AR to the church. Black Tech was amazing. If you can't tell from my voice, I would not trade this experience for anything. I haven't laughed and smiled at a conference like this in a long time. Blackest Tech, we are tech. God bless you. Oh, yeah, I built an app this week. That's Jay Les coming back to you.
I'm currently leaving Blackest Tech. Been here the entire week, and this has been easily one of the most fulfilling conferences I've ever attended in my entire life. To every speaker, to every leader. I'm so grateful for them. I don't know if you ever see this. To those of you who taught sessions, but I am praying God's absolute richest blessings on you as you continue your journey to be all that God has called you to be. And thank you for what you poured into me. I can't wait to continue to build the kingdom of God utilizing technology. John 14. Jesus says greater things, we will do. Blackest Tech reminded me we got a lot of work still to do because God ain't done with us yet. So, yeah, Blackest Tech can't wait to come back here next year. And those of you who are in the tech industry, those of you who not heard about this, this is the conference you need to be at in 2024. God bless you.
