Excellence is beautiful, it’s important, but freedom is more important.” Other surprise appearances included Babyface, Cee Lo Green and Michelle West. Willie “Prophet” Stiggers (BMAC CEO/Co-Founder/President) also spoke about BMAC’s impact and evolution over the past five years. He shared “BMAC is no longer just an organization.
