Basheer Jones is an impassioned leader, motivational speaker, and spoken word artist with a positive message of empowerment and change. Basheer understands that true success is giving back, which is why he decided to stay in Cleveland, OH, where he became the youngest news talk radio show host at Radio One. Basheer has been interviewed by Time, JET, and Essence Magazines, and has been a guest correspondent on CNN, MSNBC, and CSPAN.

Basheer’s indebtedness and passion to serve his community propelled him to run for City Council in Ward 7 in Cleveland’s 2013 election. His love for his community pushed him to run again and his persistence paid off. On January 1, 2018, Basheer Jones was sworn in as the First Muslim City Councilman in Cleveland’s 200 hundred year history.

Young Professionals are those between the ages 20 and 35, although this event is open for everyone to register. Space is limited, register today to secure your spot!
