ACHIEVER
2021 AFFAIR OF HONOR EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
The journey to producing the 40th Affair of Honor is best described as traveling on sacred ground.
Tasked to not only virtually tell the story of this year’s phenomenal young men; of equal importance we felt compelled to salute the rich history and legacy of the Achiever Program which has now spanned four decades!
In many ways the process was also like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Every unique discovery past and present proved critical to assembling the splendid picture that celebrates individuality and the collective spirit of Black Male Excellence ( as narrated by the Angel City Chapter of the Links, Inc.)
My heartfelt thanks and deepest gratitude to the relentless production team who kept digging for archival treasures with a deep sense of pride and formidable commitment.

To our highly accomplished chorographers: Ms. Terrica Banks-Tillmon and Mr. Chris Smith, it would have been very difficult to connect the past to the present without your vision, skill set and patience with the virtual process.
And, a special hats’ off to our Producer, Photographer and Director: Mr. Thomas Cunningham IV... you simply made magic out of the seemingly impossible. Your commitment, passion and resourcefulness proved contagious and is inspiring.
