Community Champions
The Community Champions program created by the Whitlow Foundation recognizes leaders who have made an impact on the lives on communities of color in the DMV for years. Some of these leaders are unsung, yet they continue to do the work to encourage others to live in and on purpose, to push themselves beyond their limited and limiting beliefs, and to explore their creativity.
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?'”
