The A-List; “30 Under 30″
Imagine a chic, cutting-edge event that brings together the most influential and talented group of young people in a city for an innovative night of celebration. Hundreds of the city’s key influencers mix, mingle and party as photographers line the red carpet to get a glimpse of the city’s business moguls, athletes, community activists, and many others. This scenario becomes reality as we recognize the city’s “A-List; 30 Under 30″.
The A-List 30 Under 30 honors thirty outstanding minorities under the age of thirty that have achieved extraordinary success over the past year.
Top 5 in each category win!

Willaim Thomas is a great businessman and makes tech work affordable and very high quality. I love what he is doing. He is also an incredible role model as a member of his fraternal organizations, helping young men blaze a trail to success.
Steven Kendrick is also an incredible young role model. He is empowering young people to have high aspirations and he is very active in the community and his fraternity. Great job Steven.

It’s nice to see our generation coming together and recognizing the good things that we do. We have so many positive things going on, but they rarely get recognized. Congratulations everyone. Not just on the nominations, but for all you have accomplished. Good luck.

Tiffany Williams is an extremely intelligent, focused, driven, and inspiring young professional who is a testiment to the young single mothers out there (and people in general) that you can do whatever you put your mind to. Let me give you the run down, 1) she is a role model in her community, her soroiety and at home to her lovely young daughter, 2) she is a full-time PhD student, and 3) a full-time professional who is dedicated to helping others achieve their dreams in higher education. She even bakes and hands out cookies to the homeless on the weekend (okay, Im just joking about the cookies, ha ha ha ha).
Im not saying you cant have an A-List without having Tiffany on it, but it d*mn sure aint gonna (yeah I said “aint gonna”) be the A+ List, ha ha ha ha.

It’s nice to see the amount of young black professionals developing in kc. i’ve been building my companies and brand for five years and its great to see others doing the same. i’ve had the great opportunity to do business with such great minds as marquecs Simmons”lions security & Club Zen”. Be friends and attend college with Edward Coody “COED INC” and develop ground breaking movements with vonzell “vdiddy” bryant and trusted my alter ego SDOT’S image to Garon Young “GFILMS” SO IT’S SAFE TO PUT THE CITY ON ANY OF OUR BACKS. I enjoy being a young C.E.O and appreciate the nomination!

If you are doing a positive thing in the city why are the youth still disturbed by seeing there own fellow generation killing one another , smoke illegal narcotics and hustle their own community? When KC stand up and learn to be honest with the real issues then the inner core can change. Until then check your own surroundings and make it a better place so such events like this can really mean its long term reasoning. Instead of Clubbing and Hanging Out were you at in the community serving?
