I am honored that UNICEF considers me, a young African American male who grew up in the Orange Mound community of Memphis, TN, someone who can influence leaders who have the power to create positive change in their own cities and the world. I also believe in the power of our youth to assist with this change. They just need the proper guidance and support to do it," he said.
