entrepreneur and the founder and CEO

and self-esteem during his youth,
Francis found empowerment through
the performing arts, which inspired him
to create Kulture Break. The
organization has since reached over
400,000 individuals, generating more
than $8.4 million to support its mission
of transforming lives through creative
arts programs. Francis's dedication to
youth empowerment has earned him

become somebody, you are somebody,"

worth of every individual, driving his
ongoing efforts to inspire and equip the
next generation.
