People who don’t know me may be wondering why I do what I do to help the youth:

1. God told me what He wanted me to do and where He wanted me to go. He told me, ” You are selfish. You have nephews and nieces, I need you to go to Job Corps to help other people’s nephews and nieces.”

2. I was a victim of mental, physical and emotional abuse. This had a major impact 
on my relationships. Anytime I saw patterns of conflict in my romantic relationships, I would quickly cut that person off. This was a sign of unresolved hurt.

Thank you to our guest, Mr. Ernest Crim for dropping the jewels on us today! The insight and wisdom he poured into us was invaluable and immeasurable.

Shout to my brothers from the Unity Faith Movement.

Shout to my parnter and co-falicitator, Zakiyyah Brown!

Great effort put forth by these two squads!

 

 

A candid conversation with educator, speaker and activist Ernest Crim about how our mindset keeps us in the hood physically and mentally.

A sound bite from one of our mentoring session’s on anger.

Pinpointing the issue within stops us from committing the same offense.
