YOUNG AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN NEED YOUR HELP
This session had a huge impact on my life, right from the start once I heard his voice he got my attention. All of my life I have been involved in gang violence and poverty but after this education I want to stop what I’m doing and go grind in my education and change the community.
I need to change my lifestyle and stop going in the same circles, this man showed me how to move forward.
It boosted my confidence as a colored male who has been going through a lot of pain.
