Member Spotlight: Meet Patrick and Rasheda!

DYP is pleased to spotlight two more of our members who are working to make an impact both within the organization and throughout the Detroit area. Please enjoy this opportunity to learn more about your fellow members, and make sure to say hello when you see them out at an event!

 

Patrick Cusmano works as the Vice President of Business Development of Red Cap Transportation, implementing strategic business growth opportunities. DYP has provided him with opportunities in and around the Detroit area that he otherwise might not have known about.

Growing up in the Metro Detroit area and receiving degrees from both Michigan State (BS) and Wayne State (MBA), Detroit provided the best opportunity for me, personally.

Patrick also serves as an advocate committee member for the Covenant House of Michigan, coaches the St. Clare Montefalco soccer team, and is an accomplished marathoner and charity advocate.

 

 

Rasheda Williams serves as the Chief Empowering Officer for Empowered Flower Girl and works to transform the way young people relate to one another. Rasheda earned her BA in journalism from Wayne State University and is trained in youth development and community relations.

Joining DYP allowed her to connect with a group of inspired professionals who are making a difference in the Detroit area and beyond.

I’ve been able to connect with numerous movers and shakers throughout the metro area

Rasheda enjoys volunteering, mentoring, and traveling in her spare time and hopes to continue to give back to the place that helped mold her into the person and professional she is today.
