The 3rd Annual Dinner at Dusk Polo Classic Legacy on the Green commenced on Sunday, September 15, at Chukkar Farms in Alpharetta, Georgia. Proceeds from the event will go toward the Dinner at Dusk Foundation, which equips Black women with financial literacy and the knowledge and relationships to achieve their dreams of home ownership and higher education.

In the past year, the nonprofit organization has been instrumental in supporting its clients in accessing $2.8 million in student loan forgiveness, $1.4 million in down payment assistance for affordable housing and $3 million in USDA funding for single-family homes.

“Each of today’s honorees is being honored for different reasons, but in their respective rights, they are all winners,” said founder Maja Sly. “They truly embody the ‘Power of One,’ which is what Dinner at Dusk is all about. It is one person, one introduction, or one thing that can change your life.”

Dinner at Dusk supports Black women in their journeys as students, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders. As an affordable housing advocate, serial entrepreneur, and event curator, Maja Sly deeply understands their need for more information and resources.

She sets out to reduce or eliminate the educational, employment, and financial barriers against Black women by combining her over 25 years of business knowledge with efficient resources to level the playing field. Dinner at Dusk is an exponential experience for Black females attending HBCUs and thriving in corporate workplaces across multiple industries.

This year’s honorees were HGTV’s Flipping Virgins and Property Virgins Host Egypt Sherrod, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Pastor of Cardiology Dr. Karri Turner, Watson Realty Co.
