On behalf of STRIVE, I had the privilege of attending Crain's Detroit Business 40 under 40 Gala. It is an incredible event for the City of Detroit, made more special seeing so many friends take the stage. These extraordinary leaders give me so much optimism. Our community will benefit for decades to come. Congratulations Amanda Lewan, Laura Grannemann, Johnnie Turnage, Alexa Turnage, Darren Riley, Jose L. Flores, Ian Conyers, and Ashok Sivanand among the other 40 under 40 champions.

Proud to share STRIVE's new Impact Report. At a time when we risk sliding backward as a country in our commitment to equity, justice and opportunity for all, STRIVE is on the frontline in advancing these essential values in communities nationally. In this season of gratitude, I'm especially grateful for our team and for our partners who stand with STRIVE in creating a world that's more equitable and just. https://lnkd.in/emEZyQ73 #equity #justice #opportunityforall

I had an amazing time moderating a panel discussion on reentry with a phenomenal group of people who work tirelessly for our brothers and sisters returning back to community from incarceration. Thank you to STRIVE for allowing me this opportunity!
