As a wrap-up to Black History Month, we attended a South Side tour led by Chicago Historian Shermann "Dilla" Thomas, who shared our city's rich history. Pictured are two stops on the tour: Emmett Till's childhood home and the YMCA, where Negro History Week, now known as Black History Month, was conceptualized.

To continue a strong start to the new year, mentees were introduced to Bag Talk Academy with Taka Buranda, where they learned the life equation and worked together in teams for an interactive budgeting activity. Later in the session, mentees learned new information about hygiene and personal care from Dr. David Anyadike.

Thank you to our presenters for helping our mentees start the year prepared, confident, and informed.

New Year, Same Mission.

To kick off , we held part one of our civics convo with Judge John F. Lyke and Judge Fredrick F. Bates, where mentees learned about each branch of the government.
