WATCH US RISE
BHM ’20 represents a new vanguard of leaders making moves toward the future they believe in—
individual moments adding up to something greater and connecting us in pursuit of our goals.
BHM In NYC
A new version for the future requires a city with new creative ethos — featuring Nigel Sylvester, Ingrid Silva, Scottie Beam and Jasmine Nesi.
“
I want to see my people win. I want us
to feel good about ourselves and our
ambitions. I want us to identify the things
that we want to accomplish and then
take the necessary actions needed to
reach those goals. The most important
part is the “we”: being together, being a
team, and being a squad that’s always
here for one another.”
Nigel Sylvester,
Professional BMX Rider

“
Sport is a language that people all over the
world speak. Communicating through sport
has broken down some barriers for me.”

BHM Leaders In LA
Uniting communities and building a foundation for the
next generation in LA is the goal of leaders like
Amanda Gorman and Alrick “Butta” Augustine.
“
We might look different. Our blackness
might show itself both phenotypically
and culturally in a wide myriad of ways,
but there's a certain commonality in
what we’re willing to fight for.”
Amanda Gorman,
Inaugural Youth Poet Laureate of the United States
