The three winners of the third annual Grassroots Black Leadership Awards in Lexington have been announced. One of them is Latarika Young, whose volunteer work for the Fayette Education Foundation, the Black Male Working Academy and Sneakers With Everything Project was praised by the Lexington Black Prosperity Initiative, the group that made the awards.
“I like to call my role and advocate and a connector, I see opportunities where I can use my talents and my skills, what I've been blessed with, because my village has been supporting me, and I try to plug in and add value.”
