“We are excited to present Legacy’s 40 Under 40 Black Leaders of Today honorees for 2022. Our selection committee did an excellent job identifying the brightest and most promising young Black professionals in South Florida,” said Russell Motley, Legacy’s Associate Publisher and Editor-in-Chief.
“With this honor comes tremendous responsibility. They’re all now under the public’s microscope to excel and take their careers – and their purpose in life – to the next level.”
In addition to the honoree showcases, readers can enjoy profiles on highly accomplished young leaders like Alexiou Gibson, proprietor of The Transformation Factory.
