Description

In this inspiring episode of NEXT 2.0, host Marcus Atkinson sits down with Erie native Paul Flemmings to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the My Brother’s Keeper Scholarship, co-founded by Flemmings and sponsored by the Uplift Foundation.

The conversation traces the origins of the scholarship—rooted in a deep commitment to uplift young Black men through education and community support—and explores why Paul continues to return to Erie every Father’s Day to honor this mission.

Together, Marcus and Paul reflect on influential community leaders, the importance of giving back, and the enduring power of the "it takes a village" philosophy. This episode is a tribute to legacy, leadership, and the bonds that tie us to home.
