Eskridge, Tanae Denean: - Tanae Denean is a purpose-driven problem solver whose expertise lies in community building. In April 2017, the second-time author created and installed her first Flashlight Art Exhibit at the historic Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum-one of the largest American collections chronicling African-American art, history, and culture in Los Angeles. Since then, the innovator has collaborated with the city of Inglewood to host the Flashlight Art Exhibit at neighborhood libraries in which the display reached the hearts of 1000+ youths while gaining exposure with local newspapers and radio stations. The exhibit also featured the author's children's book, Adventures of Coach and Little Dell. While this work itself highlights Black men and children in a positive light, it also shows Tanae's passion for literature and creative expression.Frame, Brandon M.: - "Brandon Frame is a visionary leader, social innovator and mentor.
