Lacetia takes us on a journey with Jaylen as he shares his nonprofit’s origin story, journey and purpose. Jaylen shares how receiving food at Buffalo Wild Wings without paying inspired him to give back, leading to his first community event providing hygiene kits, food, and drinks, which had no attendees but became a learning experience.
Lacetia and Jaylan discuss Let’s Gather’s mission to unite the community, especially the Black community, through meaningful connection and previews a Summer Resource Rally for 2026.
