As a young journalist, I refuse to sit on the sidelines as the media portrays negative images of men of color. I feel a personal responsibility to ensure that I use this outlet to promote leaders often overlooked—but too modest to seek recognition for their volunteer and achievement.
This issue is packed with the stories of men I know, men I look up to, and men I’m only now learning about. In this issue, you’ll uncover stories about 16 men of class, distinction, redemption and promise.
You’ll learn about men from different backgrounds, full of talent and humility. It’s my hopes that you will feel compelled to invest into these men whether monetarily, through volunteer or simply by way of encouragement.
