As far as Rashan Ali is concerned, you don’t just awaken one day and decide to become a philanthropist. Either you honestly care about the community and make lasting contributions to its well-being or you don’t. It’s really that simple to the multifaceted media maven.
Despite a flurry of accolades, awards and recognitions of distinction in the fields of radio, sports reporting, education and acting, this Florida A&M University journalism grad is most proud of her unbreakable bond with the community and unshakeable faith in her ability to help make things better for the people around her. Her Sporty Girls Inc. foundation, which helps urban girls procure scholarships in such sports as golf, swimming and tennis, is just one way that Ali manifests her beliefs. –terry shropshire
