“And so, here is a list of individuals who Sisters 4 Sisters Network, Inc., Jody Davis Designs and BMORENEWS.com would like to recognize with Black Capitol Awards for their support of and contributions to black business – including our first white guy honoree, Michael Shacklette of The Michael Group. Shacklette is a contractor who has made it his business to help make a difference in Baltimore – including in some of its toughest neighborhoods. While a lot of people talk it, Michael Shacklette lives it via his actions. After all, love is a verb.”
