Brown says that social justice is his main mission.
“Systemic racism has led to inequities in education, lack of access to healthy foods, and stigmas around treating mental health and wellness,” he said.
The gala will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. and new partnerships will be announced to move the mission forward.
