Keith Lee, Sha’Carri Richardson, Latto and Angel Reese are among the Black stars featured on this year’s “30 Under 30” list.
Black excellence knows no age, but seeing what people can accomplish at such a young age is always beautiful. This week, Forbes released the 2024 edition of its annual “30 Under 30” list, highlighting the “best, brightest and youngest business leaders of our time.” For the past 13 years, the publication has used the list to highlight 30 all-stars in 20 categories across a range of industries, including art and style, consumer technology, education, energy, enterprise technology, finance, food and drink, games, health care, Hollywood and entertainment, manufacturing and industry, marketing and advertising, media, music, retail and e-commerce, science, social impact, social media, sports and venture capital.
Each year, a notable number of Black innovators blazing a trail in their respective industries shine among the list’s 600 total honorees. Over the years, the list has celebrated high-profile alumni like Megan Thee Stallion, John Boyega, Zendaya, Stephen Curry, Kendrick Lamar, Ayesha Curry and more. This year’s list featured 86 Black rising stars, including LSU’s Angel Reese, rapper Latto, Broadway’s youngest Black playwright, Jordan E. Cooper, and social media’s favorite food critic, Keith Lee. The list goes on, but are we surprised? Discover more of the Black brilliance on the 2024 “30 Under 30” list below.
