Your acknowledgment of our work motivates me to continue striving for positive change, not just professionally but also within the broader community as it pertains to youth mentorship. I deeply admire Onyx Magazine's mission and the platform it provides to celebrate and amplify diverse voices.
Thank you again for this extraordinary experience and for the opportunity to have our young men be a part of such a prestigious evening. We are truly humbled and inspired.

Their Story
Every child has a story that sometimes gets told in an improper manner. Most of these stories begin with a child being labeled well before they even know the product, which is "self!" Usually, this leads them down a road toward destruction and subsequent criminal activity. Before you know they receive their first, "mugshot" which we all hate to see. Well, we decided to change the dynamics a bit and instead of a mugshot, our boys took headshots instead! The goal was to meet the young men right where they are, and highlight the potential we see in them via a picture! So, as you scroll below take note of our many future leaders of the world! These are kids from various backgrounds that are all trying thier best to become something greater than what society may make them out to be. This is why we HOPE!
