Join us for a talk with entrepreneur and author Hajj E. Flemings, Michigan Tech Mechanical Engineering (‘96) alum.  Hajj will share his journey as an innovator and entrepreneur.  Hajj has long embraced the entrepreneurial mindset and chose Michigan Tech because he enjoyed solving problems.  Hajj is the founder of Rebrand Cities, a brand strategy consulting company that serves clients such as Cadillac, Pfitzer, Walt Disney and the Detroit Lions, to name a few.  Hajj authored “The Brand YU Life:  Re-thinking who you are through personal brand management”.  In 2011 Hajj was featured on CNN’s documentary series, “Black in America: The New Promised Land - Silicon Valley”.   During filming of the series, he came to a deeper understanding of the meaning of “digital divide” for communities of color and dedicated himself to creating solutions.  His insight led him to become founder and CEO of Brand Camp University, an educational platform that creates technology accessibility and supports job readiness for clients in underserved communities.  In parallel, he led a new global civic design initiative within Rebrand City which focuses on eradicating the digital divide by getting 10,000 small businesses online.
