The YM Corporation is a diversified holding company currently with two core subsidiaries:
YM Athletics, a youth basketball development organization, and
Highland Media & Entertainment Group, a multimedia production company.
Our mission is to build platforms that empower talent, inspire communities, and drive long-term value in sports and entertainment. We focus on culturally relevant programming, digital content, and scalable infrastructure to create community impact and commercial success.
YM Athletics is a South Jersey-based youth sports organization delivering elite training, mentorship, and exposure for student-athletes. Our program combines athletic excellence with community uplift, focused on creating college-ready, media-savvy athletes.
Founded by brothers Victor S. Rozier, Sr. and Duiane Ford from Philadelphia’s Francisville neighborhood, Highland Media is built on a legacy of storytelling, music, and resilience. Starting as teenage hip-hop artists, they released over 30 songs and the compilation album Chain Reaction. Ford went on to direct the independent film Doughboy, laying the groundwork for a multimedia production company focused on authenticity and impact.
