Orlando, Florida – This week on “Black Men Sundays,” host Corey Murray interviews Charles F. Warrington, executive and chief marketing communications officer.

Again, I don't want to paint the picture that everyone's story was doom and gloom because that wasn't the case. These men… They were very open about what they needed to succeed through their lives and careers, and that their faith, friendships, family, and fraternities were really, really fundamental in providing that support. We recognized it as a group.”
