In a city often defined by its grit and resilience, Cecil “Dice” Clark shines as a beacon of love, leadership, and purpose. A tireless advocate for Detroit’s youth, families, and underserved communities, Dice has spent his life building more than programs—he’s building people, partnerships, and pathways to a better future.
As the founder of Love Our Kids, Families, and Community, Dice has become a household name among those who seek real, grassroots solutions to deep-rooted challenges. His work is rooted in authenticity, compassion, and an unshakable belief that every individual deserves dignity, opportunity, and support.
