We believe that leadership comes in many forms, and our young leaders are at the heart of the change we envision for the future. We are thrilled to host “To Be Young, Black, and Dope”, a Let’s Talk program dedicated to celebrating and honoring emerging Black leaders in our community.
Leadership is not confined to age, and some of the most transformative contributions come from the passion, creativity, and resilience of young people. By celebrating their achievements, we shine a light on their incredible work and inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
“To Be Young, Black, and Dope” is more than just an event—it’s a movement to honor these young changemakers, acknowledge the challenges they face, and amplify their voices.
Our honored guests are Jess Brock, Courtney Owens, and Omar Stoute. We know them as innovators, advocates, and builders. They are the fresh faces to a longstanding community fabric. These leaders are the lifeblood of progress. They challenge the status quo, uplift their peers, and pave the way for a brighter future. Their efforts often go unrecognized, but their impact ripples through families, neighborhoods, and broader systems.
