"Comfortable in the back seat of a new teal Honda Accord with my elementary friend LaKesha Roberson, we were off to the city-wide spelling bee. The winning word was either “necessary” or “syllable,” but fifth grade gets longer ago with each passing year. I won the bee, the first trophy I ever received that was not sports related. It was my smart trophy. I experienced a new kind of “Black boy joy.” A dose of affirmation that would shape my student and professional path for years to come."

Karima Amlani, vice president of development for the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, was named on the Flint and Genesee Group's first "40 under 40" recognition program. Her primary role is to help philanthropic minded individuals meet their goals, by connecting them to routes and tools in order to do that. And on the other end, Amlani and her team puts that back into the community. "It meant quite a lot (to earn the honor) because I think we have a community full of a lot of mid career talent," Amlani said. "And so to be one of 40, out of so many it was a great honor."
