MiDian Holmes

CEO and Founder, The Epitome of Black Excellence & Partnership

MiDian Holmes is the CEO and founder of The Epitome of Black Excellence & Partnership and a product of a multi-generational presence of Black family and Black community in the city of Denver, CO. During some of the most racially charged and violent times in Denver, MiDian was able to lean into the divisive experiences that were plaguing Denver’s communities. Now, as an advocacy leader, MiDian is sought out and leveraged by the community at large and is committed to holding the hands and hearts of others to join her on the journey of seeking God to restore a place of belonging for the community, the city of Denver, and society at large. Her commitment to this work has earned her the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award, a feature in the PBS-aired documentary *Standing in the Gap*, and recognition in many publications. She has also led multiple action committees within the school district and the community and was appointed by former Mayor John Hickenlooper to serve on Denver’s Excellence in Education Committee.
