Board of Directors

Sullivan Phillips, as President and Founder, has applied his leadership skills developed in sports to this program. Mr. Sulli, as the youngsters lovingly refer to him, founded B.F.F.F. to connect with them. He's a former professional athlete who's now a fantastic leader and author. Rosalynn, his wife; Ja'hnniah (20) and Mei-Lin (18), his daughters; and Jacobi (10), his son, are the center of his existence. His strong bonds with his students derive from his relationships with his family. He likes to play basketball and soccer, as well as to read and write. He wishes to put his newfound knowledge to good use by assisting these young learners. Under his leadership, BFFF is on track to change our communities.

Jessica is a mother of two, Jaida (20) and Jayson (13), allowing her to help us grow the organization  and also helping with timely motherly insight when dealing with our youth. We are excited to have Jessica as a part of our leadership moving forward.
