Longtime political consultant Lynn Braggs has led Decimal, Inc., in Shreveport, Louisiana, for more than three decades. In addition to his work on elections in Louisiana, Lynn Braggs gives back to his community as a supporter of local organizations such as Krewe of Harambee, where he serves as a founding member.
Founded in 2000, Krewe of Harambee (KOH) promotes minority participation in Mardi Gras celebrations and provides services to the local community. Some of the group's charitable activities and programs include home improvement projects and the Krewe of Harambee Scholarships.
Each year, KOH members come together for the annual Paint Your Heart Out event. Benefitting individual members of the Shreveport community, this day of service provides new paint and other minor restoration to homeowners in need.
Another major event at KOH is the Hope and Dreams Scholarship Breakfast. The event honors the three annual winners of the Krewe of Harambee Scholarships, which are given to outstanding high school students from single-parent households.
Along with providing scholarships and overseeing home improvement service projects, KOH hosts activities in support of sickle-cell anemia research and breast cancer awareness. The organization also holds senior citizen bingo nights and supports the Shreveport Regional Arts Council's Christmas in the Sky event.
