Q: How did you first get involved with the Black Male Summit?
A: My involvement with the Summit started when Darnell Davis, who serves on the event’s marketing committee, reached out asking for me to enter a contest to create a new identity for their organization.
Q: How did you create the logo for the Summit?
A: The first step to any project is always research. I researched BMS and all that they have done for students, and then created an identity that reflects what the BMS stands for.
Q: Where did your inspiration come from for the logo design?
A: The information that really inspired me was the BMS goal to address the importance of topics like, networking, self-esteem, healthy relationships, and strategies for personal and professional growth for the next generation of young professionals.
Q: Why do you think it is important to have an event like this?
A: Events like this are important for any organization to showcase themselves and help others.
Q: Who do you think should go to the Black Male Summit? Why?
A: Everyone! The BMS isn’t just for the black male student body. From their impact on my life as a white male, the BMS can help any member of the student body and outside communities. I plan to stay involved with the BMS while I finish out my education.
