They also have a website where they collect different news stories and events.

The event has been featured on Long Island News 12 and Newsday. The event planner has also organized former Suffolk County Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory’s youth leadership caucus since 2010.
The Brentwood resident has partnered with various organizations and businesses to empower, educate and inform the Pan-African community. These organizations and businesses have included Islip Town Branch NAACP, Wyandanch Plaza Association, Brentwood National Night Out and Local Elected Officials.
