Ep. 140 - The Serve Us Industry: Influencers of Neighborhoods | Paul Jerome Peters

The Serve Us Industry consists of nonprofit organizations that are run by black executive directors and primarily serve people that are classified as black and brown in the United States and abroad. On this episode I speak with my brother Paul Jerome Peters about his organization: Influencers of neighborhoods. Ions mission is to give black and brown kids opportunities to be enrolled in programs and be mentored by influencers of color, so that they may become positive influencers in their neighborhood.
