Join North Metro’s One Hundred Black Men
The members of the 100 Black Men of North Metro, Inc. are committed to motivating and stimulating youth to strive for intellectual excellence and economic responsibility as self-sufficient contributors to society.
As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we require the support of businesses, foundations and other organizations who share similar goals of helping youth and the community at large. We serve a diverse group of young men ranging from honor students to “at-risk” students.
Our signature program is titled the “Men of Tomorrow” which supports our vision of mentoring 11 to 18 year old African American males. We sincerely believe in “What They See is What They Will Be”, a mantra that is repeated throughout the 100 Black Men chapters across America. The North Metro Chapter is especially proud of the high school graduation rate of 100% and a college entrance rate of 98% with the remaining 2% entering military service or enrolling in a technical/trade program. Our members are dedicated professional men who donate their time, talent, and energy to improving the lives of the mentees enrolled in the MOT program.
Everyone deserves a chance at success. As a sponsor of this event, your contribution will help enable our programs to expand, continue to benefit the community and above all give a deserving student a chance to succeed.
We are excited about the possibility of your partnership with the North Metro Chapter of The 100 Black Men of America. On behalf of the approximately 200 youth that we support on an annual basis and the North Metro Chapter, we would like to thank you for your consideration.

On November 10, 2024, the 12th Annual Young Atlanta Fashion Exhibition brought Georgia Tech’s Russ Chandler Stadium to life with a vibrant celebration of Black creativity and resilience. This year’s theme, “BlackBalled,” paid homage to the history of the Negro Baseball League while showcasing the fresh perspectives and talents of Atlanta’s youth and rising creatives. Founded in 2012 by Charles “HOLLYANDROO” Pabai (Executive Producer), Young Atlanta has been dedicated to uplifting the next generation, providing a platform for young talent in art, design, music, and fashion.
The night started with a moving rendition of “Lift Every Voice,” followed by an energetic performance from a local high school band and dancers from Jonesboro High School. Months of training led to the big night, as models worked tirelessly with professional coaches, including Antwain Donté, Chisom, and Carolyna, to perfect their runway walk and presence. The runway showcased collections from 18 designers, including standout pieces from the following: HOLLYANDROO, Karim Richie, Saber Brand, NBD Fashion, Teho, and House of Imah. Elaine Rodriguez (Project Manager, Model), serving as the night’s MC, captivated the crowd as she guided the audience through the event theme, broadcasted on the stadium’s big screen.
