Your business does not have to fall victim to financial extortion or the destruction of sensitive information.

The National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP) was one of the most significant influences in my personal and professional development. I became involved at the local chapter level, before “NULYP” was formed, immediately upon graduation from College, and met some of the most dynamic, charismatic, influential, and most importantly – charitable young professionals who remain my closest friends to this day.

The National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP) movement helped me discover my passion through servant leadership in a new city. 







Moving from Atlanta was a tough transition, but getting involved with the local chapter in Memphis allowed me the opportunity to meet progressive young professionals. It gave me confidence and a voice to make a difference in my community, which led to me finding ways for the chapter to continuously support black businesses as the chapter president and build strong alliances with them.

The National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYP) will always have a special place in my heart. Most importantly, this organization allowed my husband to find me. From a professional perspective, this organization taught me how to be a leader. It taught me how to engage diverse populations. This work ignited my love for fundraising and friendraising. I will always credit the Urban League for equipping me with the tools and skills necessary to lead regardless of my environment.
