Brandon Lovell (MBA 2020) Talks Growing Up in the South Bronx, Year Up, and the Value of a Supportive Community

Brandon Lovell grew up in the South Bronx with no clear path set before him. After graduating from High School, Brandon spent a few years searching for his next step, when one day he was introduced to Year Up. Year Up is a program founded by HBS alum Gerald Chertavian that places urban youth in corporate internships. Over the next eight years, Brandon completed his internship, was admitted into and graduated from New York University, and established his business, Movers with a Smile. Now, at HBS, Brandon continues to fight for others with his community by his side.
