THE BLACK AGENDA: Celebrating Two Years of Vision, Leadership & National Impact
As The Black Agenda reaches its second anniversary, the organization stands as one of the most dynamic and solutions-driven movements working at the intersection of economic empowerment, technology access, education, and community advancement. In just two years, the initiative has grown from a vision into a national platform reshaping how Black communities build power and create opportunity.
At the heart of this movement are two visionary leaders:
- Dr. Lance McCarthy, widely known as Dr. Lanz
- Dr. Deno, affectionately known as Dr. Dino
Together, their shared commitment to economic mobility, equity, and cultural advancement has positioned The Black Agenda as a transformative force in communities across the country.
