Reaching Back Through Philanthropy and the Actualization of Dem Bois Inc

Send us Fan MailDo you know what philanthropy means? When I was younger I used to think that only rich people could be philanthropic. I couldn’t relate to the term. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I truly understood what it means to be a philanthropist. And, I made it my life’s work to give back to my community, specifically, providing financial assistance to Trans men of color for gender affirming surgery.
