Business partners Ethan Young and Mike Hubbs have collaborated to create Exclusive Industries, LLC, aka EI, for short. They have combined their collective years of experience as couriers and truck drivers, their business savvy and immersion in technology to create a business model that has proven to be a great seed to growing a strong business. EI was formed two years ago when Mike and Ethan decided to branch out from their jobs as truck drivers to owning their own trucking company. With years of industry experience under their belts, great customer relations and even a great relationship with their employers, creating their own company was a natural progression.

L to R: Dr. April Parker, Reverend Rikki Ferrell, Jr., Vernon Heard and Joyalise's mom Veronica Hulitt I am VERY PLEASED to say that we culminated the fundraising for the Black Diamonds Scholarship Fund by presenting a $1,000 check to Veronica Hulitt, the mother of our scholarship recipient Joyalise Shelton.

He is infamous for his infectious sax line on Ray Parker Jr.’s megahit “Ghostbusters” (yep, that’s him). He is renowned sax player globally, hosting saxophone workshops around
There is a lot of feigned ignorance about wrongdoing in relation to the trigger-happy cops shooting Black citizens. I don’t mean the explainers who try to break down why it was OK for a cop to brutalize a citizen, or throw a girl across a room like a ragdoll. I don’t mean the people who mourn the deaths of 5 officers nationally and ignore 519 killings by police in the first 6 months of the year (a number of which occurred IN POLICE CUSTODY).
