Congratulations to our President, Grayson Orsini, and to our team at 757 Proud that contributed to this important message. And, our thanks to the The Virginian-Pilot for allowing us to share it.
“We must take active measures toward building a more inclusive Hampton Roads. It is time to break free from our history.”
Opinion: Listen to young people about the future of Hampton Roads We must build a united Hampton Roads that uses the lessons from its past to create a space where our young and creative people can feel more at home, Grayson Orsini of 757 Proud writes in a guest column.

Our Voice. Our Region. 757Proud
We are our region’s next-generation, a group of 40-and-under young professionals who saw the need to elevate our voices in order to usher-in a greater sense of regional unity and pride among all 17 jurisdictions that comprise Hampton Roads. Over the next several weeks, months, and beyond, this page will post questions that need answers from the perspective of the next-generation. These questions go to the heart of who we are, what we value, and why we’re here. We want to cultivate a conversation about the things that will help us thrive in our personal and professional pursuits, and will help attract more young, diverse talent to the region. We will also showcase photos of the many beautiful places that make up our region; we will share stories of businesses and community organizations embracing the 757 regional brand; and we will promote opportunities we’ve seized upon, as a region, to work together. Our aim is to foster a new understanding of, and a renewed sense of pride in, all of the unique characteristics of this special place we call home. We can all be 757Proud.
