To soak up the expertise, knowledge and positive energy that these black men have collectively pooled has been a great experience as we work toward increasing the numbers and seeing us represented. I appreciate and thank the Brothas for being leaders, gatekeepers and stakeholders and look forward to the greatness they will continue to produce.
