In response, David Ernesto Munar, President and CEO of Howard Brown Health, released the following statement:

“Imani began her career at Howard Brown Health serving as a social work extern for BYC from September 2012-June 2013. In December of 2013, she accepted the position of Director of Broadway Youth Center, and handled the opportunity with grace and determination to make a difference.

Her many talents will help further Affinity Community Services’ mission and will undoubtedly enhance its stellar work in Chicago.”
