They require the deliberate creation of advantages for people who, for whatever reason, have historically been pushed out, maligned, and ignored by those with power. This is the goal. I am excited to use my network and relationships to help 100 Black Men of South Metro Atlanta expand its geographic footprint, base of supporters, and status in the philanthropic space.”
