The Future of Freedom Through Technolgy With Titus Walker
Pay what you can

UEL Esports & Technology Symposium featuring Titus Walker

2:45PM | 45-Minute Symposium + 15-Minute Q&A


Join us Saturday, September 26 at 2:45pm-3:45pm at the Packing House at 411 Dorchester Ave as we explore how access to technology and meeting our youth where they already are through gaming can open doors to careers in esports, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software development, content creation, and other emerging technology fields. This symposium features Titus Walker, Founder and CEO of the Ultimate Endgamers League (UEL), an innovative leader who has built a global esports organization dedicated to creating opportunities for young people through competitive gaming, workforce development, and technology. His vision demonstrates that gaming is more than entertainment. It is a pathway to education, entrepreneurship, and economic mobility.


Harriet Tubman understood that freedom was not just about escaping bondage. It was about creating opportunity, self-determination, and a better future for generations to come. This symposium represents the “what’s next” and the action step in that journey. By embracing the technology our youth are already using, we can help transform passion into purpose and talent into financial freedom.


Following the 45-minute presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a 15-minute interactive question-and-answer session to discuss how communities, families, educators, and leaders can work together to prepare the next generation for careers in the rapidly growing technology economy.

Sailing On The Choptank Through Ebony Eyes Friday, Oct 2nd
Pay what you can

Friday, October 2nd at 11:00 AM
Long Wharf, Cambridge.


This sail is reserved for students of Cambridge-South Dorchester High School, creating space for them to experience one of our greatest assets, the Choptank River.


These waters carry history. Stories like that of Kessiah Bowley, a Dorchester County woman who escaped to freedom with the help of her husband, remind us that the Choptank was more than a river. It was part of a path toward liberation. At the same time, Harriet Tubman, working from Baltimore and beyond, would go on to lead others to freedom, building a legacy that connects directly back to this region.


Through this experience, students will see the river not just as a place, but as a symbol of courage, strategy, and possibility.


This is more than a sail. It is a connection to who we are and who we can become.

Pay what you can
