Taking Opportunities: It Takes A Man, Male Initiative Program, Inc.

This weekend I had the joy and honor of hosting the Launch Party for "ITM" Dallas. This initiative is a mentoring program geared towards young minority males to provide them with an outlet to be themselves and find their purpose in life. This program is not like others where I call you 1x week and maybe show up to a few games. It is about giving and receiving what you need to succeed.  The premise of the program is to not only mentor young men but for those same young men to then become mentors for a lifetime.

The level of accountability is unsurpassed. As a mentee- I can mess up and maybe slack on my goals a little because someone (my mentor) is there to guide me, but once I become a mentor- someone else is now depending on me to be their guide and I now have a true empathy and understanding for their plight as a mentee- because I was there. It is genius.

Consistency is the goal and we are committed to changing the world- 1 life at a time.

Successful launch party on 10/9/2016 and now it is time to put the work in.

Be sure to check us out and follow our journey on social media.

When.....

When Someone Shows You Who They Are.. Believe Them The First Time- Maya Angelou I took this to heart today when reflecting over my life choices and why things turned out the way they did. It was brought to my attention by my younger, middle brother that I am all too quick to cut off people. WHEN they do one thing I am like NOPE, DONE. This is a trait that I know I have and I have always viewed it as both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I cut the bull at the beginning. A curse because some people deserve another chance. It is one of those gray areas in my life that I try so hard to color in or make clear. But the real reason why that quote resonated with me is becuase there was a time in my life, these past 4 years, that I tried to not be the person who cuts others off. I tried it and it failed. This quote is true and will forever be true especially when it comes to humans. Rarely do people change to suit others. Self is always more important than others. When others tr...

My current situation

Ran across this article and it seems to be exactly what I am deciding to do right now. You have that one guy that you know loves you but you feel complacent and maybe a little bored... but you know you would have a life with him. Then there is the guy that challenges everything within you to be this person you don't know, you become great with them but then it fades away as fast as it began. The passion is unsurpassed, you feel alive but when they leave you are left bleeding and dead on the inside.. So take a read and maybe you will reconsider life too. Should have never dated the other guy.... Date a man who loves you more. Meet him young, at a time when you’re not old enough to realize how precious he is. Fall in love carelessly. Start to think he must be the one, begin building a life with him. Become entangled with his family and him with yours, believe he will be the father of your children in later years. Date a man who loves you more because he will love everything you ...

Thoughts in my head, as I lay in my bed

I have a trillion thoughts running through my mind at any given day unless I become focused on one thing. Tonight is not that kind of night. I have so many questions, so many answers, I need perspective- Just a lil insight into my head. Let me make bonus again this month, 2 days left to pack my life, I am moving, Does God hear me? What is my purpose, time to read purpose driven life, this movie is boring, I miss him, why he texting me and not his new gf, I am happy jealous for him, I want to fall in love, what is my biggest fear, the things that go unsaid are what haunt me, Is he right for me, if not move him around, I know God hears me, I left my burdens at the altar, stop worrying, So much to do so little time, feeling a bit overwhelmed, I always push through, I dont want to be alone, does God laugh at my plans? What will happen in 6mths? Something big I feel it, Evangelism, I loved Billy Graham, I need to get back to loving my bible, was it love I felt or a really strong soul tie,...
