I Am A Descendant of Nation Builders Juneteenth Celebration

Yesterday, OBY Junior Advisors / I Was Here Ambassadors took the stage at The Melroy to lead an I Am A Descendant of Nation Builders Juneteenth Celebration. They were phenomenal!!!!

This event celebrated our newest graduates who completed the four-series Nation Builder Workshop as well as a special youth performance by Annajoy Donkor and spoken word and experiences from the I Was Here Ambassadors.

Thank you Marjorie Guyon for giving Operation Be you to co-create this amazing workshop and event. You have given these young leaders a platform to be seen and heard. We are truly grateful for you.

A heartfelt thank you to Briana Gaylord Persley and the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Division of Youth Services for always supporting our youth! You are simply amazing!

And thank you to Leasha Boyd Allen for welcoming this event to be held at your beautiful social club - The Melroy!
