A political consultant with Decimal Inc. for more than 30 years, Lynn Braggs has worked with notable politicians such as the honorable Ollie S. Tyler, the first African American woman to become mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana. Lynn Braggs is also co-founder of the Krewe of Harambee, a non-profit organization that participates in various community service events.
Named for the Swahili word that means “Let’s pull together,” the Krewe of Harambee encourages the participation of minority populations in local Mardi Gras parades. Additionally, the organization provides a number of academic scholarships to students facing adverse circumstances. The Krewe of Harambee Scholarship, awarded to three high school seniors who are living in single-parent homes, invites students to submit applications that include essays on the topic of “How I Made It Against All Odds.”
The Krewe selects three students each year, honoring them at the Martin Luther King Hopes and Dreams Breakfast. Scholarship funds are made possible through the generous donations of sponsors such as AT&T, Yokem Toyota, and Jacqueline Scott & Associates Law Firm.
