Sometimes, all it takes is one person who sees your potential and is willing to invest in it.

That’s what we’re building through the Alpha Esquire Program.

The BSL Educational Foundation, alongside the brothers of bslalphas, is preparing to welcome 20 young men from the Greater Hartford communities for an experience centered on mentorship, leadership, education, and exposure to new opportunities.

Tonight was meaningful!

From conversations about faith, politics, and civic responsibility with Bishop Marichal Monts and Ted Winn, to voter education with Hartford Registrar Giselle “Gigi” Feliciano, Mayor Arunan Arulampalam, we brought brothers together for more than just another event.

To our elected officials from Hartford, Bloomfield, and East Hartford, business owners, Urban League of Greater Harrford (David Hopkins) and Greater Hartford Branch of NAACP (Corrie Betts), Council President TJ Clarke, our BSL Educational Foundation family, and every brother who pulled up—THANK YOU!

Good fellowship. Real conversations. Important information. That’s what tonight was about.

But the work doesn’t stop here!

🗳️ Early voting is underway through November 1.

✊🏾 October 24 is National Black Man Voter Day.

Check your registration. Know your options. Make your voting plan. And help somebody else get the information they need.

Tonight we connected. Now let’s stay engaged!

EDUCATE. EMPOWER. ENGAGE.
