I’m proud to be a member of 101 Black Men because it allows me to contribute to a community dedicated to mentorship, leadership, and empowerment. Being part of this organization means I can help make a positive impact on the lives of young Black men, offering guidance, support, and opportunities for growth. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the difference we make together and to be surrounded by a group of like-minded individuals committed to fostering success and excellence.


I am very blessed to be the Praise and Worship leader/Youth Minister at my church. Being in a leadership position at church, particularly as a youth leader, is incredibly important to me. It provides an opportunity to guide and mentor young people, helping them grow in their faith and develop strong moral values. Through this role, I can create a supportive and nurturing environment where youth feel valued and encouraged to explore their spirituality. It's fulfilling to see them mature and become positive influences in their communities, knowing that I've played a part in their journey.
