Emerging Leaders Class of 2015

Savion is a co-owner of a multimedia business and independent publication VENT, and co-founder of D.O.P.E. Collective (Dismantling Oppressive Patterns for Empowerment). Both are entities led by POC locals under 30 who serve our community through art and critical engagement. Savion joined Open Buffalo to build networks and malleable skills to overcome complex barriers. "People who like me, grew up where I grew up, AND are successful are not anomalies," Savion says.
