Actor Brandon Micheal Hall is doing his part for a good cause. The actor from TV’s “The Mayor” and “God Friended Me” will be part of a panel Thursday called “Closing Opportunity Gaps for Young Men of Color: The State of Mentorship and Youth Development Post 2020.” It is hosted by Brothers@, an organization dedicated to the uplifting of young Black men.

“As COVID-19 exacerbated systemic inequalities, the opportunity gaps faced by young people across the country widened at an alarming rate—and yet, 2020 also gave rise to creative problem solving and nimble decision making like never before,” the panel’s preview says. Joining the panel are a variety of unique minds in the Black and Hispanic communities including former New York State Assemblymember Michael Blake, who represented the 79th District in The Bronx for three terms.
