NEW YORK, NY – October 10, 2023 – Artist and actor Joey Bada$$ continues his tradition of advocacy, social impact, and philanthropy with the creation of ImpactMENtorship, a program that provides free mentorship for men of color 18 years and older in the US. Joey has assembled an astounding roster of mentors in art, activism, culinary, fashion, film/TV, media, music, and sports. The mentors have committed to an hour of one on one mentorship per month for 2024. Each of these extraordinary leaders have changed lives in just five minutes. Imagine what twelve hours of individual guidance could do.

Joey speaks of his inspiration: “I have been a mentor for Unlock Her Potential, a program founded by my friend Sophia Chang, that provides free mentorship for women of color. When I saw the impact we had on our mentees, I knew I wanted to create something similar for men of color who could benefit from the knowledge and experience of industry experts. When I lectured at Harvard and NYU years ago, I was moved by the curiosity and enthusiasm I saw in the students. ImpactMENtorship is proud to offer one on one guidance to anyone who qualifies, regardless of education level.”

Applications for the ImpactMENtorship 2024 cycle will open at noon EST on Sunday October 15, 2023 and remain open for two weeks. Prospective mentees may only apply to one mentor.
