David, 27, currently serves as communications manager for Windy City Black Pride (WCBP), a volunteer-based 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization that provides resources, conducts outreach and hosts the largest event in the Midwest for the African-American LGBT community. He is responsible for developing and implementing the organization’s local and national advertising, marketing, and public relations strategies. In addition, he assists in the organization’s philanthropic initiatives.
Born and raised in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, David moved to Chicago at 17, three weeks after graduating from high school to become a fashion designer. He soon learned that sewing was not for him and changed paths to work in another creative world—the advertising industry.
David holds a degree in marketing from Chicago State University and will pursue an MBA in the fall at Roosevelt University.
