About us
Dream Above The Influence Inc. (DATI) is a nonprofit organization started by actress and philanthropist Gail Bean to provide mentorship, resources, exposure, and promotion of greater opportunities and a higher quality of life within the Black community. DATI serves as a home for the “All Of My Love” scholarship which is awarded annually to 22 Atlanta-area high school seniors. Along with the “All Of My Love” scholarship, DATI has numerous community outreach initiatives and programs throughout the year to further promote its commitment to its mission and the community it serves.
“We have so many different influences around us, so many things that influence our minds, Don’t let anyone box you into one thing.”
“I feel strongly about giving back and re-investing my time and knowledge into the community.”
“I want to leave the next generation knowing that “The sky’s the limit”! If you can think of it, you can achieve it.”
— Gail Bean on “What kind of legacy she wants to leave for the next generation.”
