I kept thinking about the impact mentors, coaches and sponsors have during my recent conversation with Year Up United Black Opportunity Alliance in Martha’s Vineyard during .

Thank you to Year Up United and the Black Opportunity Alliance for creating space for such an important conversation about talent, access, and economic opportunity.
