B2L Legacy
B2L Legacy workshops provide unique and immersive community-based experiences – such as dialogue facilitation, networking, and skills building – to connect and empower young adults and adults in communities, to strengthen communities.
What is B2L Legacy?
In collaboration with community-based, corporate, and educational partners we develop place-based opportunities that focus on topics that impact BIPOC community members within the systems of criminal justice, healthcare, and education. Through workshops, conferences, community events and youth based groups, we engage the students, their families, and the community as a whole.
“You don’t need to know it all. There’s a difference between speaking and working towards what you want.”

Build 2 Lead, in partnership with Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, Morehouse School of Medicine, and educational partners, has hosted two Melanin in Medicine events to connect students with Black and Brown healthcare professionals and explore healthcare careers. The events have featured breakout sessions on mental health, career navigation, and battling discrimination, while fostering connections between students, families, and Black and Brown clinicians.
