DeAndre Neal simply won’t take no for an answer. He is an amazing networker who continually pushes his agenda – helping youth and young adults avoid the negative choices that left him imprisoned at age 17 and helping his community to thrive. He has a keen intellect and has an uncanny ability to work with the establishment and at the grassroots. Deandre has been with UAct from its inception and is the backbone to much of our work.
