“The introductions conclude. The commitment begins. Today, we celebrate the final group in our 100 Black Men of Atlanta Class of 2026 spotlight series: Bryant Marks, Michael Barlow, Ovie Mughelli, Quandrell Claybrooks, Reginald Ellis, Robert Griggs, and Winston Etheridge III, MBA. Throughout this series, we’ve heard what happens when someone takes the time to invest in another person. Doors open. Confidence grows. Possibilities become clearer. And those who once received that encouragement find their own ways to pass it on. That is how mentorship comes full circle—and how a legacy of service continues. As we close these introductions, we celebrate these seven men and the entire Class of 2026. Their accomplishments brought them to this moment. Their willingness to share their experience, build relationships, and invest in young people will help shape what comes next. Swipe through to meet our final group, and help us welcome the entire class to the brotherhood in the comments. The spotlight is on our members. The purpose remains our young people. Leadership. Mentorship. Service. #100BlackMenOfAtlanta #Mentorship #Leadership #Service #WhatTheySeeIsWhatTheyllBe”
