In this episode, we sat down with TJ Campbell of the NAACP San Gabriel Valley Chapter. TJ is the outgoing President of the chapter and prior to his last few days/weeks he sat down with us to talk about the NAACP and his other projects. During his tenure with the NAACP he has served in various capacities and for the last few years as the President. While he is moving past the President role, he is quick to let everyone know he will continue to be very involved in the organization.
TJ was a student athlete in high school and through college where he played basketball at a collegiate level. He returned to his alma mater to be a coach and to help mentor our youth in their basketball futures where one of the teams he coached won the CIF Championship.
One of the programs that TJ has helped organize and lead is the “Local BSI” program where he is mentoring the community on how to economic stability in a community and how to shop at locally owned business to help the community in development.
We also talked about the upcoming Dr. Martin Luther King celebration where the local chapter partners with the City of West Covina to hold one of the largest celebrations in the San Gabriel Valley. This will happen on Monday, January 16, 2023 between 11:00am-2:00pm. It is a “Day of Service” and the entire community is invited to attend. The location is the civic center for the City of West Covina.
