About the Tapestry Award
This award celebrates a Stanford GSB alumna or alumnus who has significantly contributed to the Black community and has woven inspirational leadership, intellectual excellence, and service to others into their professional and personal lives.
Tapestries and the art of weaving are sources of tradition and pride in the Black community. Like a finely textured fabric, this individual, through their contributions and actions, embodies strength, beauty, and integrity and the importance of maintaining these qualities in our lives.
