Atlanta City Councilman Antonio Brown Talks The Power Of The Black Vote & More / BHL Tha Trend

*On this edition of Tha Trend, Derrial Christon and Courtney Stewart talk with special guest Atlanta City Councilman Antonio Brown about the power of the black vote, the future of politics and more!

Elected in 2019, Councilman Brown represents Atlanta’s District 3 which includes Vine City, English Avenue and Atlantic Station.

As a successful CEO and humanitarian, Antonio Brown adds a unique perspective, strong faith, and inspirational work ethic to his community. Growing up in poverty with his parents frequently incarcerated, Antonio discovered he had the resilience and drive to overcome adversity & achieve success. From the ground up, he built LVL XIII (Level 13), a luxury men’s fashion brand currently sold in Nordstrom nationwide. After successfully launching his business, Antonio immediately began to pour back into the community through the Dream of Humanity (DOH), a nonprofit committed to improving the life trajectory of marginalized people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Dream of Humanity provides the community with access to a self-sufficient lifestyle through wraparound services, transformative educational programs, and generous charitable contributions.

Antonio Brown’s passion for business and education moved him to create the Small Business Entrepreneurship Program, which is now licensed by The Art Institute. This program provides hands-on entrepreneurial training and support to over 30,000 historically underserved college students nationwide. After witnessing the success at the Art Institute, Antonio realized there was a need to replicate the program to serve students in public schools. He built Student Entrepreneurs of America, a program that will serve 34 high schools by providing students access to a summer immersion program and pipeline into college. These students will have the opportunity to obtain up to 24 transferable college proficient credits at no cost.

Councilman Brown has been recognized by “Next Big Thing Movement as one of 2018’s Top 35 Millennial Influencers” and Georgia State Representative Erica Thomas awarded him a “Notable Citizen of Georgia Proclamation.” He also appeared on the cover of 17t South Magazine in January 2019.
