Black History Month: Pharlone Toussaint

The best gifts we can give to one another is our time and support. Atlanta Program Officer for Laureus Sport for Good Foundation USA, Pharlone Toussaint, shares those gifts with her city and community every day through something that means a lot to her — sports.

A native of Atlanta, Toussaint has lived in many neighborhoods across the metro area spanning from Clayton County to Gwinnett County. “Coming from a poor family that immigrated from Haiti, we always had to move...” Toussaint expressed. “I didn’t get to do formal sports. I would find a new playground to go play in.
