We are incredibly proud to announce that our very own Founder and CEO, Alexys Feaster, was a recipient of the Hennessy “Never Stop, Never Settle” award, which recognizes the strivers and dreamers who create change in the face of adversity. The “Never Stop, Never Settle” society works in partnership with the Marcus Graham Project, to create a more equitable landscape for Black entrepreneurs. The society inducted an inaugural group of 20 business owners, each chosen for their commitment to reshaping the world through social impact, increasing representation for Black-owned businesses, and job creation within underserved communities.
In founding the social impact firm, The Kinship Advisors in January of 2021, Alexys is reimaging how future businesses aim to make a social impact and is solidifying herself as one of the premiere leaders in connecting the sports and entertainment industries to people committed to social justice and sustained impact in underserved communities. The Kinship Advisors, along with four other Black-owned businesses, each received $50,000.00 in funding to further their efforts.
When asked about what receiving the “Never Stop, Never Settle” award means to her, Alexys stated, “Launching The Kinship Advisors was a test of courage and faith. I think about my legacy a lot – how do I want to be remembered and what do I want to leave behind? I want to be remembered as someone who never stopped regardless of the adversity or the foes who posed as friends. Someone who never settled in life and always sought the people, vibes and opportunities grounded in goodness. I want to be remembered as a light, who draws in the people and opportunities that will work together for the greater good. Being selected as an inaugural member of the “Never Stop, Never Settle” society validates the work we are doing at The Kinship Advisors, partnering with people of influence to make lasting impact.”
