AGE3 Leads Transformative Session with HBCU First and LISC Interns
At AGE3, we believe confidence, clarity, and care are foundational to leadership—and last week, we had the opportunity to share that message with a powerful group of emerging changemakers.
Our founder, Almon Gunter, led a dynamic session focused on self-love, personal development, and the transformative impact of mentorship for students participating in programs through HBCU First and Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC). The event brought together interns, mentors, and leaders committed to building a brighter future—one rooted in purpose and personal growth.
Throughout the session, participants explored what it means to truly lead with intention. Key takeaways included:
✅ Reflection builds resilience
✅ Passion fuels perseverance
✅ Pride in your work speaks volumes
✅ Gratitude and meditation ground you
✅ And yes—writing a love letter to yourself is powerful and necessary
When individuals understand their worth, they unlock the confidence to lead authentically and teach others how to respect their voice.
Mentorship emerged as a recurring theme—highlighting how the right guidance can ignite clarity, elevate confidence, and open doors to life-changing opportunities. As Almon often says, “Success begins with self-belief—and grows through support.”
We extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Ruth Jones Nichols for her inspiring keynote, reminding us all that personal growth and leadership start from within.
AGE3 also extends gratitude to our partners at LISC for inviting us into this impactful conversation, including Dale Royal (LISC Atlanta), Seong Kim (LISC National), and Anikka King (LISC). Your dedication to empowering the next generation does not go unnoticed.

Together, we are cultivating a generation of confident, purpose-driven leaders. AGE3 is honored to play a role in that mission.
