The Root is accepting nominations for The Root 100 of 2013. The Root 100 applauds the best young and emerging leaders (ages 25-45) who are exemplars in their fields.
The list highlights a mix of people from various industries — those who are recognizable names and those who deserve a little more recognition — ranked according to a scoring system that measures reach and substance. As a result, our 2012 list included names as varied as R&B superstar Frank Ocean; Trayvon Martin family lawyer, Benjamin Crump; New Jersey’s fiery politician Cory Booker; and Scandal’s creator, Shonda Rhimes.
Do you want to have a say on who should make the 2013 list? The goal is to select the 100 men and women ages 25-45 who are the most influential African Americans in 2013. The Root 100 will be chosen across a broad spectrum of categories — from musicians, clergy members, politicians and scientists to entrepreneurs, artists, environmentalists and civil servants.
