" I do this work because I believe that when boys are mentored with intention, they grow into men who lead with integrity, and purpose, and the strength to carry society on their shoulders, thereby driving it to a better place. My work is rooted in building character, leadership, and community, and being a Millennium Fellow will amplify that mission because being a Millennium Fellow means joining a community that shares my passion for impact. I'm excited to learn, grow, collaborate, expand my impact, and refine the vision behind Boys Thrive Network, making our mission even more aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and the kind of world we all want to build thereby creating lasting change. "
