For the months of July and August we have selected a husband/wife team. Tommie and Stephanie Jefferson have been active members within the chapter since joining in 2017. During the 2018-2020 term, Tommie was Chair of the Social & Cultural Affairs committee and Stephanie was Chair of the Fund Development committee. They are the proud parents of two dynamic kids and find time to successfully integrate their commitment to Richmond YP while raising a young family and leading their business as owners of A Metropolitan Driving School.
As we celebrate Black Business Month, please take time to support and promote our Members of the Month, Tommie and Stephanie Jefferson. Each month, Richmond YP will spotlight a member. Selection criteria will be posted on our website.

Enough is Enough. Vote!
Enough is Enough. VOTE! is the National Urban League’s new voter engagement campaign. In this current political climate, marginalized communities cannot afford to sit out this election or let our votes be silenced by voter suppression tactics. There is power in our collective vote. When we go to the polls we overwhelmingly elect representatives that champion the issues essential to our families and communities.
Enough of our civil rights being stripped away by the rolling back of immigration, voting rights, and criminal justice laws and policies. Enough of our public schools being underfunded and our children being over-penalized. Enough of the attacks on access to affordable healthcare and women’s reproductive rights. And, enough of the unjustified killings of unarmed people of color by the police. Vote on Tuesday, November 5! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
