Black Excellence: Peter Mutabazi
https://petermutabazi.com/about
As a child, I ran away from an abusive home and was helped by the kindness of strangers. As an adult, I found myself in a position to be able to help foster children, so I began taking children into my home years ago to give back what was so freely given to me.
It’s my mission to give back as much as I can to the vulnerable among us. That’s what drives Now I Am Known: to bring a message of hope to the hopeless—the same message I needed so badly to hear as a child.
Peter Mutabazi is an author, single dad, and viral foster parent known online as @fosterdadflipper. He is the founder of Now I Am Known, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting vulnerable children. For more than twenty-five years, Peter has worked with global charities to improve the lives of children in need. As a foster parent, he has welcomed more than forty children into his home.
