Meet Rodney Rich, a name that resonates deeply within our community, particularly among our youth. Known for his unwavering commitment and profound impact, Rodney isn’t just making a mark; he’s paving the way for future leaders. Rodney has immersed himself in various roles geared towards enriching our community and empowering its members, especially young people. He began his journey of impact years ago, fueled by a desire to give back and nurture the next generation. From mentoring students to leading community projects, Rodney’s contributions are a tapestry of dedication and passion. What makes Rodney particularly effective in his roles is a unique blend of skills that includes exceptional communication and a genuine approach to relationship-building. “Connecting with people on a personal level is vital,” he shares, “it helps to understand their needs and aspirations.” Driven by this philosophy, he ensures that everyone feels valued and heard, creating an inclusive environment. Rodney’s journey into community service ignited when he experienced firsthand the positive influence of mentors in his life. Inspired to pay it forward, he engaged with local organizations, leading workshops and events aimed at youth development. “Seeing young people flourish gives me a sense of fulfillment like no other,” he says. His greatest joy lies in watching them step into their own power and pursue their dreams. Throughout his experience, Rodney learned invaluable lessons. “The best advice I’ve received is to lead by example and remain persistent,” he reflects. “It’s important to show up, even when things get tough.” He believes that passion, resilience, and a willingness to learn are crucial traits for anyone looking to make a difference. To those seeking deeper connections within the community, Rodney encourages them to actively engage and find areas where they can contribute. “Volunteer. Show up. Ask how you can help. It’s amazing how those small actions can lead to significant changes,” he advises. Yet, success doesn’t come without challenges. Rodney often faced moments of doubt, wondering if his efforts truly made a difference. Overcoming these obstacles has shaped his perspective, and now he stands proud of his contributions and the bridges he’s built. Among his many accomplishments, Rodney is especially proud of the mentorship programs he established, which have impacted countless lives. He acknowledges one person who profoundly influenced him: his high school mentor. “They saw potential in me before I could,” Rodney recalls, inspired to do the same for others. To the younger generation, Rodney offers heartfelt advice: “Be curious. Don’t shy away from challenges. Every obstacle is a stepping stone to success.” His hope is to leave behind a legacy of empowerment and courage, encouraging youth to chase after dreams that seem out of reach.

Why Did You Start My Black City?

A MESSAGE FROM BRANDON BORNES (FOUNDER OF MY BLACK CITY)

We often worry that we don’t have enough resources in our community to go around. When we see someone in our community doing what we do but better, we get a little nervous or intimidated. Instead of using competition to spur on our creativity, teamwork, work ethic and innovation, we become soo overwhelmed with our own fears and insecurities that we gossip, sabotage, or hurt one another. This has happened to many exceptional people in our community. We need to do better and lead by example. Our love for each other needs to be greater than our fear of failure.

If we had to simplify into one word what My Black City is about, it would be LOVE! Because Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

When people come in contact with our brand, that’s what I want them to experience. It‘s not an easy aspiration to live up to, but we believe it‘s worth fighting for and it‘s what we need as a community.
