THE BLACK BOY HONORS POWER LIST

The Black Boy Honors Power List, separate from the Black Boy Honors Awardees is a distinguished recognition celebrating a select group of young Black males who exemplify excellence, leadership, and purpose-driven impact in their schools, communities, and personal pursuits. Hand-selected from a pool of nominations, these honorees have demonstrated remarkable achievements.

More than just a list, this honor is a statement: these young men and boys are not waiting to be told they are powerful—they’re walking in it. They are changemakers, trailblazers, and examples of what it looks like when talent meets discipline, and vision is nurtured in community.

All boys and young men on the power list along with the Awardees of Black Boy Honors will be pinned at a pre-event ceremony and celebrated at Black Boy Honors.
