2. My name is Toni Washington Shinn, I am affectionately known as
The Inner-City Guru.
My passion is working with all youth and families living within

reared within the same conditional arena and have always wanted
to give back what was given to me as a youth. My vision is to build,
educate, develop, and advocate.

knock on every door to support and empower all communities to

Methodology:
Forbes valued more than 200 global brands by looking at three years of earnings and allocating a percentage of those earnings based on the role brands play in each industry (e.g., high for luxury goods and beverages, low for airlines and oil companies). We applied the average price-to-earnings multiple over the past three years to these earnings to arrive at the final brand value.
