What are you doing to make a difference in the profession, your community, the world?

Outside of my day job, I commit my time to a platform of education and awareness of the profession by volunteering with the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) and the Tennessee Society of CPAs (TSCPA).  I have also started my own firm and am working in private practice on a part-time basis.  The overall goal is to become a trusted advisor in the community that helps clients achieve their short and long-term financial goals and educate them on influential factors that pertain to their overall financial wellness.
