Different and the Same! My Brother’s Keeper Greater Cleveland Chapter
In 2021, Saving Our Daughters will be collaborating with the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers & Cleveland Foundation on Social & Racial Justice Initiatives in partnership with the empowering Students of Promise and the Urban League of Greater Cleveland’s My Brother’s Keeper program.

This list of Celebrity Godparents includes Former Pro-Boxing Champion, Laila Ali along with actresses such as Eris Baker and Tyla Harris, both from their hit shows on NBC’s This Is Us and ABC’s For Life, who have created PSA’s to also help announce and champion the powerful messaging for social & racial justice for black & brown girls within the groundbreaking partnership.
Mrs. Marsha A. Mockabee, President & CEO of the Urban League of Greater Cleveland (ULGC)stated, “We know there is a great need for our young people today with COVID-19 impacting the way in which they are going to school and experiencing interaction with their peers. Co-chair Reverend Stanley Miller and I are happy to be in this partnership to bring vital additional programming to our area,” says Marsha A. Mockabee.
“But on this birthday of our beloved Dr. Martin Luther King, we also have a dream…one that provides for the same kind of support and empowerment for girls and young women of color in our communities. This dream will be realized through a collaboration with Saving Our Daughters and Students of Promise. So, as our birthday present to Dr. King, we have reached out to partners and knitted together a web of resources to support young men and women in our community to be all that they can be.”
