Matt Forte was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft (44th overall) and donned the Navy and Orange through the 2015 season. His rookie season ranks among the most prolific in franchise history. In 2014, Forte set a single-season NFL running back record after hauling in 102 receptions.

Following two seasons with the New York Jets (2016-17), Forte finalized his illustrious 10-year career with 9,796 rushing yards and 54 touchdowns on 2,356 attempts. The 554 grabs rank ninth of all-time by an NFL running back and his 14,468 scrimmage yards are the most by any player during his 10 years in the league. On April 23, 2018, Forte signed a one-day contract officially retiring a Bear.

In his retirement, Forte has taken on several philanthropic causes. He continues to develop his What’s Your Forte Foundation (founded in 2014), which assists and mentors’ children in underserved communities by creating programs that help develop their passions. Additionally, the organization seeks to foster healthy relationships between Chicago communities and the Chicago Police Department, among other socially relevant issues.

Forte champions complementing organizations that promote health, wellness and education as well as guidance opportunities to at-risk youth populations. He has recently announced his partnership with United Way of Chicago, to be one of the faces of the organization and also sits on the board of The Google Org Impact Challenge that rallies non-profit organizations to create innovative economic opportunities within their community through grants.

Forte has also expanded his public voice, and in May 2018 joined NBC Sports Chicago as a featured analyst on the “Football Aftershow,” as part of the network’s game-day coverage. He is currently pursuing acting.

New Orleans native David Augustine, aka Dee-1, didn’t start rapping until he was enrolled at Louisiana State University. If Tupac and Lauryn Hill had a son, it would be Dee-1. He is truly the voice of a generation, and has skyrocketed from doing local talent to rocking worldwide tours. Growing up in New Orleans, the temptation of the streets as very appealing. Bu these same streets broke Dee-s’ heart when his best friend got murdered. At that moment, Dee knew that God called him to break the cycle of negativity, so he chose a different route.

He released his first two mixtapes during the mid-2000s. The year he graduated from LSU he took his swagger and charisma to teach mathematics at a middle school, he released his third mixtape. He soon traded his classroom for a microphone and a stage, and the rest is history.
Dee-1 entered the rap game on a mission. To inspire people everywhere to “Be Real, Be Righteous, and Be Relevant.” He has since released some of hip=hops most powerful albums and has collaborated with platinum artist such as Lupe Fiasco, Macklemore, Sevyn Streeter. His single “Sallie Mae Back” went explosively viral and became known as the “debt free student loan anthem.” His latest album “Slingshot David” is his most exciting project, carrying a theme of finding your Slingshot and using it to defeat your Goliaths- a concept we can all relate to. From his dreads to his out fits, to his tapes. As he continues to rock big stages and make hit record, all he asks of the people is to stay focused and keep their #MissionVision sharp at all time.
