This year’s AGP will feature celeb attendees including HBCU anthem creators Fabo, Roscoe Dash, and Lil Ru with more surprises to be announced.
A press release adds AGP will also bring awareness about the importance of HBCU graduates “being whole and healthy humans” with education on financial, physical, and mental health through its AGP Cares initiative.

Citing the need for mental health services and the suicide rates among African Americans ages 15 to 24, AGP Cares is offering “complimentary” 6-10 minute AGP Cares Chats with licensed therapists and vital health screenings in the “AGP Cares Corner.”
AGP Founder Tiwa Works said in a statement that he’s grateful for the past and optimistic about the path forward for his annual picnic.
“As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, AGP remains dedicated to fostering unity, creating memorable experiences, and building lasting connections,” said Tiwa. “We reflect on our journey, our achievements, and the exciting possibilities ahead. We champion the celebration of our culture and the support of small businesses.
