Ep 7 Helping Communities of Color level up with Juan Young

What does leveling up even look like?

Juan Young had enough of this. So he’s doing something about it through Melanence

Melanence is on a mission to bring valuable knowledge to a previously underserved community.

Fresh off a successful 100k crowdfunding campaign, we had a sit-down to break down his vision and journey to building a platform to serve millions of Black and Underrepresented professionals out there.
