Delta Air Lines received recognition for pioneering support of the Emerging 100 of Atlanta. We all know the incredible work the Emerging 100 does. They’re on the front lines, mentoring and empowering young Black men, guiding them as they carve out their paths in life. This work is more than just mentorship; it’s about shaping future leaders—leaders who will one day steer our communities, our businesses, and our society toward a brighter future. Enter Delta Air Lines—a company that’s not just flying high in the skies but is deeply rooted right here in the communities we live, work and serve. Delta is a partner who understands that real impact comes from lifting as you climb. By joining forces with Emerging 100, Delta is doing something powerful. Beyond writing checks , we are writing a new narrative for these young men and for all of us who care about the future. This partnership is a blueprint for what’s possible when we come together with a shared vision. It’s about creating opportunities that open doors and minds for young men who might not have had those chances otherwise. It’s about mentorship, guidance, and giving these young men the tools they need to succeed—not just in their careers, but in life. When we lift up our youth, we lift up our entire community. Delta’s partnership with Emerging 100 is a shining example of how businesses can roll up their sleeves and get involved in the work that matters most. It’s a statement that says, “We believe in you. We’re here for you. And we’re going to help you soar.” Thank you for your commitment, your vision, and your dedication to making our community stronger, one young man at a time. This partnership is more than just a collaboration—it’s a movement, and it’s one that I’m proud to support.
