Our Co-Executive Dir./Chairman

BRANDON CARTER

I’m a proud father of five and a devoted husband to the most amazing woman, Brittney, who is both my rock and inspiration. Her love, beauty, and strength are at the core of who I am today. Together, we’re building a future for our children and our community that reflects hope, resilience, and growth.

Born and raised in Altgeld Gardens, one of the most challenging neighborhoods on the South Side of Chicago, I’ve seen tragedy firsthand. Growing up, I witnessed the struggles and heartache that still affect our community today. But through it all, I’ve asked myself one question: "Is there a solution to this madness, and where do I fit in as a positive influencer?"

Time To Evolve Coalition (T-TEC) is my answer. With this organization, I’m committed to creating a village of leaders—empowered individuals who will make a lasting impact on our community. As I reflect on my journey, I often think, “Had I known then what I know now, I could’ve saved many lost souls, including my own.” But the wisdom I’ve gained has shown me that it’s never too late to change.

I feel over honored to represent such a passionate organization, and the gentleman that I work side by side with are true inspirations. Whenever you wake up after a well-rested night and look forward to servicing your community and collaborating with other organization to assist them with the work they do gives me goose bumps and a valued added “core belief” that would take a life-time to put into words.

Our mission at T-TEC is driven by purpose: to inspire and guide others, to evolve in a way that sparks transformation in lives, and to be the change we need in our neighborhoods. Together, we can create a movement that uplifts and empowers. It's time to evolve, and we invite you to join us as we inspire to be aspired.
