The Thrill of Possibility Summit

Nissan proudly sponsored the 2024 Thrill of Possibility Summit, a transformative professional development weekend held in Nashville on November 8-9. For the third consecutive year, the summit brought together 50 talented HBCU scholars—selected from 160 applicants—alongside Nissan executives and leaders from The Black Effect Podcast Network. Attendees participated in inspiring panels, interactive sessions, and mentorship opportunities led by thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives from diverse S.T.E.A.M. fields. Top executives from Nissan USA and The Black Effect set the tone with impactful speeches, sharing insights and words of encouragement that celebrated the potential of emerging Black talent. The weekend concluded on a high note with a lively performance by YG Marley to celebrate the promise of these exceptional scholars.
