This year’s Business Partner’s lunch will be held on April 17th (please note the new date; Daveed has to start filming his new movie on April 19th!) Revival Kitchen and Bar is the scene, and our guest speaker will be BHS Alumni, star of Hamilton, Black-ish,
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Wonder, and the upcoming Blindspotting: <b>DAVEED DIGGS!</b> Daveed will be interviewed by BHS Alum Robin Claire Barnes, and the super-fabulous Berkeley High Jazz Combo B will be performing. And this is how awesome Daveed is: he’ll
be doing an all-school assembly at BHS afterwards, and taking a small group of students out for tea after that.
