This past Wednesday, October 16th, I had the incredible opportunity to plan and manage the Developing Men of Color (DMC) General Body Meeting, in partnership with Virginia Credit Union (VACU). The event brought together over 200 people, and I was able to personally connect with CEOs and executives from VACU. It was a rewarding experience to take full responsibility for the event and create meaningful relationships with top leaders. I am very grateful for this opportunity and excited to build on these connections and leadership skills for future endeavors! #leadership #networking #DMC #VCU #VACU

DMC congratulates Mahan Moradian on successfully interning at Transamerica Words from Mahan, "I'd like to thank DMC for not only being one of the best communities on campus to be a part of but also providing me with invaluable resources and opportunities throughout my time at VCU. I also want to thank Dr.Goode for all the encouragement and insights he's given me, instilling in me the confidence that is crucial in the professional development space. I look forward to growing and contributing to our community."

Earlier this week, Dr Brian Brown , Interim Dean of the Virginia Commonwealth University - School of Business , graciously invited DMC to a meeting where he introduced himself. During this gathering, Dr Brown not only introduced himself but also shared invaluable insights on leadership, career growth, and navigating the business world. He took the time to recognize our collective achievements, emphasized the importance of our continued development, and provided resources for academics and professional support. We are deeply grateful for his generosity, mentorship, and warm hospitality!

As the lead of the media team, I had the privilege of overseeing a talented group of 6, including photographers and videographers, who captured every moment at the Developing Men of Color's General Body Meeting, held in partnership with Virginia Credit Union.

Honored to have had the opportunity to present and lead the IT Committee for DMC, sharing insights on career paths in IT and the value of industry certifications. Excited to help guide the next generation of tech professionals!

I had the pleasure of meeting Kendall Liverpool at the Developing Men of Color’s LinkedIn workshop, where he approached me for advice on building his professional profile and image. Kendall is a freshman at VCU, currently enrolled in the Arts Foundation program. He has extensive experience in screenwriting, film, and photography. His talent and passion for his work are truly impressive, and he is eager to excel in his field. If you have a moment, I encourage you to take a look at the prologue of his written piece, "The Ballad of a Senior Hawkeye"!
