Premier Pharmacy and Wellness Center has 2 locations in North Carolina (1 in Charlotte and 1 in Gastonia) and is owned by Dr. Martez Price. Dr. Price earned his degree from FAMU and has won several awards as a community pharmacist. This prompted him to open his pharmacy.

Premier Pharmacy is a neighborhood pharmacy that has partnered with Premium Direct Medical and offers a walk-in clinic, retail store and wellness center in addition to pharmacy services. He is still an active philanthropist through his Premier Foundation non-profit.

The Colin Kaepernick Foundation was founded to "fight oppression of all kinds globally, through social education and activism". I'm sure that I don't have to tell you who Colin Kaepernick is and the movement that he created regarding standing up for your rights simply by taking a knee. What has been interesting to me are the comments over the years regarding people saying that he "needs" football. Statements like that show the ignorance of people who think that all Black athletes will frivolously blow through millions of dollars.

On the contrary, "Kap" has done tremendous things with his fame and fortune. His Million Dollar Pledgepumped money into oppressed communities...all from his personal pocket along with proceeds of his NFL jersey sales. He also fully funded a youth campaign called the Know Your Rights Campto raise awareness in several areas that affect our children. So whether or not you watch(ed) football, we can all agree that Kap used that platform to advance our people!
