Black History Month may have ended but the work NEVER STOPS!
This week on The Work, Chloe and Brandon welcome Malcom Brogdon, Indiana Pacers starting point guard and Vice President of the NBPA.
Having been named after social justice icon, Malcolm X, Brogdon was entrenched in the fight for equality since birth. As a kid, him and his family took mission trips to Africa to provide aid and relief to those in need. He witnessed firsthand the lack of accessibility families had to water and he knew something needed to be done. Those experiences early on shaped Malcolm into the man he is today.
It's not just about basketball for Brogdon. It's about providing an equitable future to disadvantaged communities and the less fortunate. In the NBA bubble, Brogdon was a leading voice not only to encourage athletes to play but also use their platform to highlight the injustices that Black people in this country face today. He uses his status as an NBA player as an engine to drive his passions and further accomplish his goals.
Check out this episode of The Work to learn more about how Brogdon is facilitating change in our country and abroad. Then head to brogdonfamilyfoundation.org to see how you can get involved too!
