OUR STORY

10 years ago God inspired a vision within me to chronicle the legacy of ordinary African-Americans from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that had achieved extraordinary accomplishments. 

Several years later, I solicited the assistance of E. Steven Collins and shared my vision with him in August of 2013.  He directed me to contact him later to schedule time to discuss my vision with him.  Unfortunately, a few weeks later before I had a chance to schedule the meeting, E. Steven passed away suddenly.  Thus, I finally heeded the call to transform my dream into reality.
