We had the good fortune of connecting with Todd Belcore and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Todd, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factors behind my success are faith and perseverance. No matter how hard or dark things become, it’s my faith that sustains me. And no matter how impossible things are and how many insurmountable obstacles present themselves, I keep the faith and keep pushing forward.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets Social Change apart from other businesses is that we don’t just serve people directly impacted by injustice, we are comprised of leaders directly impacted. So when we share stories of hardship, directly respond to the issues our communities are facing and empower community members to dismantle the root causes of their oppression, we’re doing it from a lens that cannot be more in touch or authentic.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh this is an amazing question. When it comes to relaxing and having fun, it’s less about where you are as it is about who you’re with. As long as people are easy-going, down to earth, loving and open-minded, fun is wherever we’re congregated. That’s one of the reasons why I absolutely love our International Social Change Film Festivals, whether it be our fest in Atlanta, New York, Chicago, LA or beyond, it’s because they are absolutely and completely filled with these very sort of loving, open-minded, easy-going and down to earth people.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Every thing I’ve ever been able to accomplish is all thanks to God and the inspiration, example and support of my mother. They don’t deserve some of the credit, they deserve all the credit. And there isn’t a day that goes by where I’m not thankful for them.
