Ryon Williams

Class Twenty-Six
"Using your gifts to uplift and strengthen others defines true leadership."
Ryon wanted to join Progressive Black Men Incorporated because he sought to be part of a brotherhood of Black men that pushed each other towards excellence and held each other accountable. He grew up as an only child and felt that being in a supportive environment of hardworking, high-achieving Black men would enable him to progress academically, professionally, and as a person in general. Furthermore, Ryon wanted to join the organization as he wanted to continue and deepen his passion for uplifting neglected, underprivileged communities, specifically by serving as a role model for young Black men.
