Aje is the Founder and Executive Director of I Believe In Me Inc; a Frederick based nonprofit focused on the development and empowerment of urban youth between the ages of 6 and 16. The program offers young men and women an opportunity to obtain academic assistance\, anger management\, peer building skills\, nutritional and hygiene guidance\, as well as participate in outreach programs providing the youth with opportunities outside of their current socioeconomic status. \n“Many times what we perceive as an error or failure is actually a gift.” \nAt one point in his life\, Aje would tell you getting caught was one of the biggest errors he ever made. Choosing the street life over becoming a contributing member to society\, Aje found himself quickly addicted to the hustle; always wanting more. In 2009\, Aje was arrested and faced a twenty year prison sentence; with all but eight years suspended\, over a major drug distribution charge. While incarcerated\, Aje realized he no longer had control over his life and admitted to himself that life had become unmanageable. Through the pain\, the hurt he caused his family\, and the loneliness he faced behind bars\, Aje decided to do one of the hardest things in life; change. He decided to no longer be a menace to society and with strong family support\, love of God\, and many support groups; Aje opened a new chapter to his life and never looked back. \nAje passionately works to deter the youth of today from the same situations and consequences he once faced. Using his personal\nexperiences\, Aje is able to expose the youth to the dangers associated with certain actions and the path those choices will take them on. It is his and the mission of I Believe In Me to inspire and challenge youth through physical and mental activities that foster self -respect and respect for the world around them.

Long before what has now become “fashionable\,” Michael Hughes\, Frederick County’s first Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer\, was instituting racial and social justice initiatives at several large community serving institutions\, committing decades toward advancing equity and creating welcoming workplaces and communities. \nMichael joined the Frederick County government in November 2020 as a credentialed diversity trainer who is certified in Diversity and Intercultural Competence from Wake Forest University\, and is certified as a civil rights investigator. He has designed professional development courses for conferences\, colleges\, corporations\, and community serving agencies. \nHis work in advancing social justice is not limited to racial equity training. During his 25 years of progressive advancement in higher education\, Michael led Title IX policy design and program launches for multiple colleges to identify and remedy inequities around gender & gender identity; Led a cross-functional team in producing the 5-year web accessibility plan to make campus accessible to faculty and students that are differently abled; Designed and implemented a Restorative Justice model for student conduct efforts for a college that adjudicated over 500 student conduct cases each year.  He has Chaired Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion Committees at multiple institutions\, provided the services of an Ombudsperson\, and conducted numerous investigations of complaints of discrimination. \nWhile focusing efforts upon the critical work of creating and leading institutional and systemic change\, Michael expresses that he never wants to forget the real reason for pursuing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion.  He maintains that the simple truth learned in his theological training to “Love people\, and love the God who made them” keeps him grounded and connected to the “why” that drive his efforts as the County’s Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer. \nUpon accepting the enormous responsibility for advancing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion throughout the County\, Michael immediately began identifying and partnering with those that had been doing the work in the County\, long before he relocated here from North Carolina this past November.  These included leaders from community service and support agencies and the faith community; minority business owners; Frederick County Public School leaders & Higher Education administrators\, and others. \nMichael expresses his gratitude to have the opportunity to participate in this speaker series\, and looks forward to future opportunities for partnership in the work of making Frederick County a more diverse\, inclusive and welcoming community for all.
