Anthony Pierce
Bio:
I am a cultivator of creativity! Homegrown in Buffalo, I’ve spent most of my life attending community events, entertaining others with various arts, and building spaces for people to strengthen their spirits. I love superheroes and action films, and I’m most driven by my daily goal of recovering my heritage and advancing to a future of prosperity for all!
My Favorite Children's Book:
Children’s Animal Encyclopedia
The most meaningful part of working at EPIC is:
Coordinating the Strong African American Families program speaks to my life-long mission of healing and instilling self-confidence in my fellow African Diasporic people! I was raised in a family of love and know the power of people who truly care.
