Please listen to this important messsge from the CEO of Turning Point!

At the intersection of celebrity influence and business education lies an incredible opportunity to reshape industries and increase access to leadership roles for Black and Brown communities. Celebrities like Denzel Washington and Alex Rodriguez, who were recently inducted into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Alumni Hall of Fame, exemplify how high-profile individuals can impact communities, serve as role models, and drive change. Their journeys from Boys & Girls Club members to global icons highlight the influence of mentorship, opportunity, and community engagement in shaping successful leaders. For HBCU business schools, partnerships with celebrities and influential public figures provide a unique chance to inspire students, showcase diverse leadership, and open doors to industries that are often underrepresented. By leveraging the reach and impact of celebrities, HBCU business programs can: Elevate visibility of business education’s role in creating leaders across various industries. Foster partnerships that provide students with mentorship, internships, and leadership development opportunities. Increase access to high-ranking leadership roles for Black and Brown communities by breaking down barriers and building pipelines to success. In the same way that the Boys & Girls Clubs celebrate the achievements of their alumni, we believe that business schools can use the influence of celebrity partnerships to inspire, uplift, and prepare the next generation of business leaders. We are always looking for partners to help us support our business schools and their students with events, sponsorships, and more.

As the year comes to a close and we reflect on the impact we've made, we are excited to share the inspiring moments from the 6th You(th) Lead Conference, hosted by our community partner, the Pinball Foundation. Our partnership with PCF aligns with our Labour Market Intervention Strategy (LMIS), aimed at addressing systemic barriers and creating pathways for Black, equity-denied, and justice-involved youth to access educational and career opportunities. At the conference, our post-secondary students and alumni, through speed mentorship sessions, networked with industry leaders and executives from various sectors and industries, gaining valuable career advice and insights. It was empowering to see our current students interact with alumni, whose success stories serve as a powerful testament to the transformative impact of education and the expanded opportunities provided by #YAAACE. Here’s to shaping the brighter futures of our youth! 💫 #YouthEmpowerment #YAAACEAlumni #CommunitySupport #LabourMarket #LabourMarketInterventionStrategy Funmi (Lade) Oyapero | Liz Kamalando | Faith-Ann Allison | Dejon Brissett | Audrey Sanchez | David Piccini | Patrice Barnes | Jill Dunlop | Hon.
