For over 26 years, Dr. LaVerne Adekunle and Macaiah Tillman, PhD have celebrated community leaders and changemakers through prestigious Community Service Awards, first supported by notable figures like Congressman Marion Barry and Lt. Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller. In 2015, the awards evolved into the Extraordinary People Awards (EPA), a global platform honoring international community leaders and philanthropic volunteers worldwide.
With a mission to celebrate unsung heroes in humanitarianism, the arts, and leadership, EPA recognizes those who inspire and uplift their communities. From the Ooni of Ife to the Honorable Dorah Illunga, notable honorees reflect a worldwide commitment to impact and service. We salute our first sponsors, Dr. & Mrs. Tola Olukilede and Stephen Thomas.
Through this event, laExpose, a 501(c)3 organization, aims to expand awareness of global needs, foster appreciation for talent and community service, and connect an international audience.
