"I appreciated and enjoyed being a part of this mentorship program because I have gained invaluable skills. I had a great mentor who was committed to my growth as a professional and individual. My mentor gave me tools that helped me land a year-long internship. Their guidance allowed me to articulate my experiences well during the interview. Overall, my experience was great. BMI Propel Mentorship is something I would recommend to everyone because it has increased my confidence and positively impacted how I perceive my skills.”

“I have had an absolutely phenomenal experience to date as part of Evangeline's Black Mentorship program. This program is organized in such a professional, strategic, and success oriented way, with such compassionate, caring, thoughtful, and down-to-earth mentorship, that I truly feel positioned to accelerate towards my goals. I adored my mentor from the first conversation we had! The relationship was just what I have longed for, a safe space, outside of family, and friends to be vulnerable, bold, uncertain, wishful and yes, Afraid!”

“Working with two BMI mentors for personal growth and professional development has expanded my network, advanced my business, and led me to new initiatives. The support and accountability have propelled me to build a team for my business, and tone significant aspects of project management such as prioritizing, problem-solving, persuasion, and foresight. The experiential learning was "hands-down"! My experience demonstrates how BMI will continue to make a profound impact on Black professionals and entrepreneurs.”

“BMI have served as a great mentor and a place to receive meaningful feedback as I navigate some of the challenges in my current role. Given the scope of BMI’s work, there is tremendous opportunity to engage with the community on a personal level to gain a deep understanding of the communities need but also understand where we as a Police Service may be falling short.”
