The greatest lessons are often taught in the moments that matter most.

A father’s influence extends far beyond today. Through guidance, encouragement, and unwavering support, fathers and father figures help shape confidence, character, and the belief that anything is possible.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at What's Your Forté Foundation.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is more than a moment in history. It is the foundation for opportunity, growth, and the future we build together.

Today, we honor the resilience, achievements, and contributions of those who came before us while recommitting ourselves to creating pathways for the next generation to thrive.

At What's Your Forté Foundation, we believe every young person deserves access to the resources, relationships, and opportunities that help them discover their potential and pursue their purpose. As we celebrate Juneteenth, we reflect on the progress made, recognize the work that remains, and continue investing in brighter futures for our communities.

Not everyone starts with opportunity. Some have to fight to see it.

TJ Joshua turned obstacles, tough environments, and limited access into a pathway to purpose. This session wasn't about becoming a lawyer - it was about rewriting your story when the odds aren’t in your favor.

Last week we launched our inaugural Golf Outing, bringing together leaders, supporters, and champions of youth for a day of purpose, partnership, and play.

Every drive, putt, and connection made today helps us continue empowering young people and families across Chicago.

This is more than a golf outing. It's the start of a tradition.

See you next year. 🏌🏾‍♂️
