Providing Hope - Offering Opportunities - Creating Change
When I was a boy, my dad would talk about starting a boys' group that would allow boys from across the city to become acquainted with one another, even if they didn't live in the same neighborhood. He envisioned a brotherhood that would decrease the need to feel threatened by another Black man on sight. I took his blueprint and added a few things: we now include young girls as well as the boys, and the “plan” cannot happen without an economic component.
