Meet our Founder and CEO of Lifting Our Voices, Noah McQueen, an experienced community builder with an extensive background in community leadership and program development. As a graduate of Morehouse College with a degree in sociology, The Washington, D.C. native became the first person in his family to attend and graduate college. While at Morehouse, Noah received a full scholarship for community service completing over 3,000 hours in leadership and servitude both foreign and domestically. While serving, touring, and studying in these countries Noah developed a deeper perspective on global citizenship exploring geopolitical affairs.

During the pandemic, Mr. McQueen founded Lifting Our Voices, Inc. to aid at-risk citizens in underserved communities. Over the past year, LOV has distributed more than 80,000 meals across 8 major cities to those experiencing food insecurity. Furthermore, his organization registered more than 450 voters over the last two election cycles. Additionally, they collected and dispersed more 15,000 clothing and toiletries items to those in need via their seasonal supply drives.

Noah is a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. which is a black Greek letter organization centered around lifting as they climb. As a result, he saw the need to include mentorship in his advocacy work. As a result, Lifting Our Voices has taken an active role in educating and guiding Atlanta youth through our mentorship program in collaboration with Utopian Academy. This program focuses on the social, mental, and scholastic advancement of young Black men. Lifting Our Voices, Inc. has also been featured in several projects, including articles on The Barack Obama Foundation’s website, My Brother’s Keeper and The Atlanta Voice’s documentary focused on highlighting the issues faced by people experiencing homelessness.
