COVID-19 Conversation: Raymond J. McGuire and Ernest Lyles

We heard from Raymond J. McGuire (Vice Chairman, Citi Chairman, Banking, Capital Markets, and Advisory) and Ernest Lyles (Founder and Principal of The HiGro Group) who shared their stories and struggles as Black men to become successful and their inspiring message to the next generation. As Ray said, “championships are won when no one is looking” so we must continue to support those most in need, especially people of color, during this difficult time.
