Day 11: Lamman Rucker
Today, I want to shine a spotlight on the incredible Lamman Rucker. Not only is he a talented actor, but he’s also an activist and entrepreneur who truly makes a difference in the world.

Lamman is a sports enthusiast who volunteered to coach at a high school, helping students build life skills and more. He works with numerous nonprofit organizations to support urban youth and communities, motivating people all over the world. His dedication and passion are truly a blessing, and he deserves all the recognition.

Day 10: Nappy Roots
Let’s start with a group that’s always deserving of recognition: Nappy Roots. These guys are incredibly humble, fun, and down-to-earth. Not only are they a fantastic music group, but they’ve also ventured into the brewing world, creating their own beer and hosting various events at Atlantucky, their brewery.
The atmosphere at Atlantucky is incredible, and I’m always proud of what they’ve accomplished. They provide a space for people to showcase their talents, attract a diverse crowd, and spread smiles and positivity through their music and passion.
Nappy Roots are a true inspiration, and I definitely want to give them their roses today. Anytime I can get out to Atlantucky and soak in the great vibes, I’m there.
