As Founder of 4 Da Hood and the mastermind behind the Ascending Leaders in Color program\, he forges paths for Peeps of Color to lead with more authenticity\, courage\, and joy! Because for Frank\, advancing equity isn’t just a job – it’s a movement towards building generational wealth for communities of color to thrive! And he’s doing it one connection\, one story\, one courageous conversation at a time. \nDownload list of 2026 Meeting Topics/Dates \n\n\n \n \n Monthly Meeting RSVP | Online Purchase -June 2026\n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Organization*Email*\n \n Monthly MeetingRegistration Fees*$25 Members/$35 Non-members/$15 Reduced rate (limit of 10)\n\nIf the full registration fee presents a barrier that would prevent you from attending\, we welcome you to register at a reduced rate of $15 – limited number available.\nIf you purchased a 2026 Education Monthly Meeting package and want to register another attendee\, please register them separately.\n \n \n Member $25\n \n \n \n Nonmember $35\n \n \n \n Reduce Rate $15\n \n \n \n Edu package holder $0\n # of Attendees*Names of Additional AttendeesPayment method*Mail payment to: P.O.
