The 100 Black Men of Atlanta past chair says some mentored young men return as members to mentor someone else.
For Sid Barron, a past chair of the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, mentorship has been part of his own journey. Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron, also a mentor with the group, helped shape Sid's path in business.
The group says some young men who were once mentored return as members of the 100, ready to mentor someone else.
Sid's message: find an area you are passionate about, pour it into young people, and "show up consistently and with intention."

Open the post““We have to show up consistently and with intention.” For Past Chair @sidbarron, mentorship is more than something he believes in — it has been part of his own journey. Hall of Fame baseball player Hank Aaron, who was also a mentor with the 100 Black Men of Atlanta, helped shape Sid’s path in business. Today, Sid has seen firsthand what happens when that same investment is poured into the next generation. The impact becomes generational. Mentees grow. Possibilities expand. And in some cases, the young men who were once mentored return as members of the 100 — ready to mentor someone else. That is the power of showing up. Sid’s message is simple: find an area you are passionate about, pour that passion into our young people, and do the work consistently and with intention. Because mentorship still matters — and the need has never been greater.
