Nason has been in my corner since 2013. We met at my high school where he among some other mentors came to give us young men some advice and guidance on how to maneuver as young Black men. At any event that I’m invited to speak at I tell the story of how we met and what impact he has had on my life. Nason has been consistent throughout the years in not only providing me with words of encouragement but placing me in actual positions to exercise my skillset.

I've had the pleasure of working with Nason for over a decade. He is a sincere servant leader that brings forth fresh and innovative ideas to complex problems. His hard work ethics coupled with his strong and diverse network places him far above his peers.

Working with Nason over the last several years I've learned what true compassion and assisting others really means. Nason has gone above and beyond to help the communities in South LA begin to heal. Thank you Nason for your commitment to our city.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Nason for the past few years. Partnering with Nason, the Mayor’s Office and My Brother’s Keeper has been a wonderful experience. Nason’s passion for youth and underserved communities is extraordinary. It’s clear that he cares for the lives of the young men and women who benefit from the programs he oversees. I admire his relentless dedication to ensuring that young people are given a chance, resources and access to a better life. Nason is steadfast in his purpose.

Over the past year and a half, I've had the good fortune of collaborating with Nason on a series of charity events throughout the Crenshaw and LA area. Time and time again, I've seen him selflessly give of himself to benefit the communities and the people in the South LA region. If I had to choose 3 words to describe Mr. Buchanan it would be honorable, passionate, and integrity. Judging by how the community embraces him as a leader and mentor, it is clear he's made an everlasting impression on children and parents alike.

What I admire the most about Nason Buchanan is his sincere love for community and his determination to connect people and organizations toward successful collaborations that can improve the quality of life of people in need.

Thank you for the impact you have on the future leaders of society. The importance of providing hope where it doesn’t exist, while maintaining where it does, is essential for community members. I’m encouraged by your passion, innovative mind, and consistency. Keep up the great work.

Nason has been instrumental in the success of Switch Up; he’s supported me with strategic and practical advice as well as mentored me though some of my most challenging times. I would recommend Nason to anyone who is seriously trying to make a meaningful impact in their communities.

Nason Buchanan has been a leader of example to me ever since becoming my mentor back in 2017 with the My Brother’s Keeper Initiative. His hard work and diligence toward getting the issues taken care of in our communities are boundless and have created a following of fellow community members and leaders alike who all hold Mr. Buchanan in high regard for his care—not only to improving conditions in our community, but for his continuing mission to do more.

I’ve been fortunate and honored to work with Nason for my event and can’t say how much of an impact he made on all of the kids and attendees at the event. I highly recommend Nason for future events and outreach efforts. Thank you Nason for your dedicated service and passion to help those in need and the forgotten throughout our communities.
