One thing I liked about 199 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: everything I read. It was like a continual thought. You know, 200 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: you know, I din broke you didn't break mission And 201 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: the word the mission is restoring the urban community through 202 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: group menbership, which goes back to our fraternity talk leadership 203 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: trail which we all knew. Hey man, you learned leadership 204 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: in the fraternity. You learn it, you know, Like like 205 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: I said, I'm not turning this into a pro fraternity, 206 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: but I gotta go. We made us, man, maybe we 207 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: made us be able to have these conversations the reality 208 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: that men came into our life who are strangers, and 209 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: I said, they did all the right things. I don't 210 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: get me wrong. Someone was stupid, Okay, you know what 211 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, victors. Someone was stupid. But in the end, 212 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: when you crossed and you became, when you was able 213 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: to define yourself as a man victor and defining yourself 214 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: and your other brothers listened to you and say, hey man, 215 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: we have a bigger calling, a bigger cause. And that's 216 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: where you also in your mission statement you talk about 217 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: spiritual guidance. And that's the last thing you say in 218 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: your mission statement. Why is that so important? Man um? 219 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: Even though it's mentioned last, it's the most important piece 220 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: um of brothers restoring urban hope. When you think about hope, 221 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: you think about the spirit of the man, and you 222 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: gotta have a strong spirit. You gotta have a fighting spirit. 223 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: You have to have a positive spirit. UM. You have 224 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: to have a uh in my case, a spirit of 225 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: God UM in order to have hope in this world 226 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: that we live in. UM. So as we talk about 227 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: building up the man um or or the female, because 228 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: we saw females too. When you when you talk about 229 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: building them up to teach them leadership skills, UM, to 230 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: to teach them um or or try and mentor them. 231 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: You you, you, you have to deal with the spirit 232 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: of that person too. And that's that's their health, UM, 233 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: that's their mental spirit, that's their um. You know that 234 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: spirituality UM is everything that makes up that person. So 235 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: we have to deal with that also, especially our young 236 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: black African American brothers and sisters. We really have to 237 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: deal with the spirit before we even start talking about 238 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: restoring hope. You know, victory. When I when I look 239 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: at you, you know, first of all, I'm proud of you, 240 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: okay proudly because you're younger than me.

You know, you're on the board 245 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 1: of Habitaty Manager for Humanity. How does that um? You know, 246 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: do you have time for anything? Bro? That's what I'm saying. 247 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: You do you have time? You know, because I'll tell 248 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: you I left out a lot of stuff. Okay, I 249 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: just went through and say, okay, this is recognizable. You 250 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: are a busy man and your service, victor is to 251 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: the community. And and I go back to that because 252 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: that gets lost because when I grew up, you know, 253 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: there were people who I grew up in the hood 254 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: with a phil War Texas, and we moved to a betterhood, 255 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, because you know, it was just so much 256 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: money to get you out of the original hood. But 257 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: a along the way, there were teachers who kept me right, 258 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, told me you you you unique, you have 259 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: unique skills. Who are the people who kept you focused 260 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: early on you know, like because I know I can 261 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: tell you for I can tell you my sixth grade 262 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: teacher stopped me in the hallway. I can remember that 263 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: very clearly. I can remember my eighth grade teacher always 264 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: used to just pour into me knowledge. I remember my 265 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: band instructor, you know, Mr King. I can remember Ms 266 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: Trailer who was my biology teacher. M Ris Nelson who 267 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: was my math teaching. I hated math and my degree 268 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: in college math okay, and so so these people poured 269 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: into me, And now you're pouring into the community who 270 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: poured into you, Victor h Um. I had three phases 271 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: in life where I can point back to that were 272 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: very impactful. Um. It was my basketball career when I 273 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: was in high school. UM, getting ready to go to 274 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: college and get my first scholarship playing basketball. UM. I 275 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: had a coach that that really really showed tough love. UM. 276 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: He didn't let me off the hook for anything. His 277 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: name is Coach how McManus, UM and I still remember 278 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: vividly the first camp UM that he put me out 279 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: of because I had some disciplinary issues and but but 280 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: what but what? But what he did was put his 281 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: foot down. And now I looked back on it, he 282 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: was teaching me a lesson of discipline. And when I 283 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: was at home waiting for everybody else to come back 284 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: for Kemp, all I kept re winding back in my 285 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: mind was, Man, I'm missing out on an opportunity, and 286 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: he didn't give up on me, you know what I mean? 287 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: That they came back. They checked up on me once 288 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: everybody got back. But I learned my lesson early. UM. 289 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: I had another mentor. His name is Jermaine Grave. He's 290 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: actually a brove georgs Um. He's a he's an omega 291 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: and he was one of the guys in the neighborhood 292 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: that actually UM graduated with honors and went off to college. 293 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: So that was somebody that we were able to look 294 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: at and see like, wow, he did it. And he 295 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: took me under his wing and he told me, uh 296 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: a long time ago, he told me, and we still 297 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: had his conversation to this day. He said, you always 298 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: had that leadership UM quality. And he said it's up 299 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: to you, you know how far you go. And I 300 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: just remember taking us to church and you know, really 301 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: showing us what college life was like on his campus. 302 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: And then third and then that third phase was in 303 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: my work field, which was one of the most important 304 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: phases that I went through. I worked in corporate UM 305 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: for a little bit about eight and a half years, 306 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: but I met two young I met two brothers UM. 307 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: One of them is your fraternity brother and M and 308 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: another one UM is in management, still with the same company, 309 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: but They always would tell me, don't ever ever ever 310 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: put your hope in man, don't you ever do it, 311 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: especially in this arena. And and they taught me how 312 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: to play the game. They taught me how to speak 313 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: the language. They taught me how to not be so 314 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: uh caught up in my feelings per se with certain 315 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: things that were going on in the workplace, but to 316 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: always outthink, um, you're oppressent. And those kinds of things 317 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: right there helped me maneuver in the space that I'm 318 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: in now as far as relationship building, working in on 319 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: the professional setting, and also giving that knowledge back to 320 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: some of our youth um that are headed into college 321 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: friend or graduating um college.

A lot of people think about UM. 395 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: You know, the the volunteers UM, A lot of people 396 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: think about UM. The way is that different nonprofits affect 397 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: people's life UM. But UM, when you talk to a 398 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: lot of nonprofit professionals in the administration UM space, UM, 399 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: you'll hear UM lingos such as grant writing, capacity abuilding, UM. 400 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: You will hear lingos such as UM you know, fundraising, 401 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: endowments UM. A lot of backhouse administrative work UM. That 402 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: that comes with the different I R s UM, UM 403 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: stipulations and things on raising money. And that's those are 404 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: our our specialties UM and our skill set UM that 405 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 1: a lot of our African American UM nonprofit professionals UM. 406 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: And it's you know, it's it's across the board UM. 407 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: From an equity standpoint, we don't have a lot of 408 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: those skills UM. And we have a lot of good works. 409 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: We have a lot of great programs, and we run 410 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: a lot of good programs. UM. But when you look 411 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: at the fundraising and the amount of money that is 412 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: out there, you really have to know your stuff. UM, 413 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: you really have to understand what you're getting into, UM 414 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: when you're trying to raise you know, to three million 415 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: dollars a year, which is ultimately, uh my goal for 416 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: our nonprofits. So I just want to be ahead of 417 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: the game, especially UM in the movement that we're in 418 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: right now, the post covid UM slash Black Lives Matter 419 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: movement where they're looking for African American all run organizations 420 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: that have their stuff together, and we just want to 421 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: make sure that we're in a in a place and 422 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: in a space where we're comfortable. When you say, hey, Vick, 423 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: I got a million dollars I want to give to you. 424 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: Can you do you have the capacity? Do you have 425 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: the knowledge base? Do you have the skill set to 426 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: even manage that? Um? So that's what I've dedicated my 427 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: education towards UM, really understanding the space and and being 428 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: a master of my faith and the captain of my soul. Victor, Hey, man, 429 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: anything I can do? Come on now, you have me 430 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: in a minute for him being limp. I love it. Man. 431 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm glad you've joined the interview, man, because I appreciate 432 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: your youth, your spirit. We talked about the mission of 433 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: Broad mendership dot org. Now the vision, you know, the 434 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: vision is through your mentory program, you desire to make 435 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: personal connections that inspired those in the urban communities to 436 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: discover who they are. That's important because sometimes I know, 437 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, all I can see, man, what I saw 438 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: on TV or what happened down the street. And sometimes 439 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: what happened on the street wasn't always what I wanted 440 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: to be, but I didn't have an option to see 441 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: what I could be. And so that means developing their 442 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: strengths and overcome their challenges. Like you said, like I'm 443 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: like I'm talking about and I'm not telling anybody. Look, man, 444 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: I didn't come from the I didn't I went in 445 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: the gang. I didn't have to deal with drugs on 446 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,239 Speaker 1: the corner. I'm not saying that, but I have to deal. 447 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: I deal. I dealt with a situation that level to 448 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: a lot of unsafe situations. And that's what we're talking about. 449 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: We're talking about where you know, we had to be 450 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: on the porch before the light went out. Okay, that 451 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: was demand. And when I look at what you're doing 452 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: with deals with young girls and boys elementary to middle school, now, 453 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: that's what that has always been considered a very important 454 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: era to capture young minds elementary to middle school, because 455 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: they've always said that once they get in high school 456 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: sometimes that spirit can be lost and the direction of 457 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 1: failure has been so defined that it cannot be turned around. 458 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: Not saying this in supple, but if you can catch 459 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: them early, you can catch a larger number to keep 460 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: them straight. Am I writing my definition of that tourn right? 461 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: And I do want to um to say that our 462 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: main focus is on the seventeen through four year olds. However, however, 463 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: to your point, we do have a lot of partnerships 464 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: within the community. A lot of our programmatic partnerships and 465 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: community partnerships are with the age range that you talked about. 466 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: And you are absolutely right. Um. They say that if 467 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: you want to teach a person a different language, Um, 468 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: you can't do it when they turn fifteen, sixteen and up, 469 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: and you're definitely not gonna do it when they get older. 470 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: If you want to teach a person a different language, 471 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: you teach them when they're a baby all the way up, 472 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: because it's easier to retain, it's easier to mold the mind. Um, 473 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: it's easier uh to As they say, it's it's easier, 474 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: um to to to build up a kid than break 475 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: a man, you know what I'm saying, And and and 476 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 1: and yes, you have to capture them at that early age. UM. 477 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: But for Brothers Restoring Urban Hope, what we saw because 478 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: we work in an area where there are thousands I 479 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: mean when I say thousands, there are. There are thousands 480 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: of youth that are being served by the Boys and 481 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: Girls Clubs, the Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and the Boy 482 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: Scouts of America, and all of them fit that age 483 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: range that we just talked about, that younger age range 484 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: where Brothers Restoring Urban Hope found an opportunity and we 485 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: said we wanted to fill the space of is what 486 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,719 Speaker 1: happens when those kids age out of that program at 487 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: seventeen years old. I'm gonna tell you what happens. We 488 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: start to treat the like adults. We start to put 489 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: them in an adult system. We were, we expect them 490 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: to make a decisions. Those cute little babies that you 491 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: were training up when they were sixteen, and you love 492 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: them when they were sixteen. Now society hates them now 493 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: that they got a little beard and a little mustache, 494 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, a little spot, you know that they stay 495 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: in or you know, got their license or whatever the 496 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: case may be. But that's one of the most pivotal 497 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: times for my area because what happens is they fall 498 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: into that economic that racial equity, economic mobility UM cycle. Right. 499 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is that that's where 500 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: those numbers start popping up, homelessness, under under paid um uh, 501 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,479 Speaker 1: not being able to get a job or get into school. 502 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Those are our seventeen through twenty four year olds that 503 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: you're seeing popping up in that racial equity report. And 504 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: those are the folks that we are really trying to 505 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: capture and sitting in the gap for them. Um. And 506 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you'll get to me talking about the 507 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: different services we offer them. But that's that's the main 508 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: focus of Brothers restoring up the hope, because that's where 509 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: a lot of hope is lost. I want to I 510 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: want to talk because I know we're getting close to 511 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: the end. I want to say two things, and then 512 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: I want you to talk about your services. Uh. If 513 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: you don't when you get to that seventeen you've been rejected, 514 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: you've been told I got you, you've been said, Hey man, 515 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: I'll be right back, don't come back. You've been dising 516 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: Fried Chap franchise, as a as a young man, you've 517 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: been discouraged, you've been emotionally and maybe physically kicked to 518 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: the curve. And I know this for a fact. You 519 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: have to make a commitment to these boys or young 520 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: men because they're boys, they're really boys, because they didn't 521 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: they didn't get to live a normal life where they 522 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: could cry, where they could hug, where they can see failure. 523 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: And somebody picked this beery back up and give him 524 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: a hope to make it. It's all right to make 525 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: a mistake. And so when I when I and so 526 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: I know the journey that you're dealing with, man is 527 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: emotionally so challenging, because you can't have a day off 528 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: victor not with these boys. You can't because that day 529 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: you have off is the day could be the worst 530 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: day of life for the kid that you had awful. 531 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: And I remember, man that, uh I remember when I 532 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: first went into a program like that in Houston, Texas 533 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: and came in, I spoke. The boys didn't say nothing. 534 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: They looked at me, go okay, thank you. I said, 535 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: what's what's the problem. Well, you know, I know you 536 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: you feel good about yourself. I hope so, because they 537 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: come in here all the time, do these little speeches 538 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: like you do, and don't come back. Then I realize 539 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: right there when that little kid said, and he was 540 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: a little kid, he's like six three to four, right, 541 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: these ain't a little little kids. But like you said, 542 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: they've they've they've transcended into manhood and people start treating 543 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: them like man. But they've have the development of a 544 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: child life skills how to communicate what's my next decision, 545 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: so they're susceptible to making mistakes they can't recover from. 546 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: That's what you're dealing with every day. And that's seventeen 547 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: twenty four age group. What gets you going, man, Victor, 548 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: because it can be so frustrating, Brother, it could be 549 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: so breaking, emotionally breaking for you, and then you have 550 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: these services closerus out by talking about this, man, I'm 551 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: so proud of you to spending time to tell me 552 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: about your story. But especially the broad mentorship dot org store, 553 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: which is available you can go there is go to 554 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: that website that's available on that website. Because I broadcast 555 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: on all these HBCU schools and and my whole thing 556 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: is to allow people to understand you as value. You know, 557 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: you're in the heart of HBCU all this area. So 558 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: but man, speak your piece, man, so we can get 559 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: out of here. Man. Absolutely. Um, you spoke on something 560 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: a little earlier and you said, Um, you have to 561 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: you know, understand your why and you have to know 562 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: your why and who you are. And it's it's one 563 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: of those situations where I meet with a lot of 564 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: youth all the time, and through different partnerships, whether it 565 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: be d J J d S s UM, the alternative schools, UM, 566 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: the regular schools, the colleges, and you know, we meet 567 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: folks who just got out of prison all the way 568 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: to folks who are two kids who are about to 569 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: go to law school. So it's an array of kids. 570 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: But one thing that I've always not understood and we're 571 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: still trying to understand this is when you ask a 572 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: kid why and what's your why, they put their head 573 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: down in and thinking about it, and a lot of times, 574 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: eight times out of ten or eight kids out of ten, 575 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: and they can't tell you there why. They don't understand 576 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: their purpose and what we want to do through our services, 577 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 1: because we don't do this just Victor and my staff 578 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: of six. We have volunteers that range from three to 579 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: four hundred volunteers throughout the community that we can call 580 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: on at any given time to give a kid what 581 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: they need at that time. And we do group mentoring 582 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: so it's not one to one mentoring. So when we 583 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: show up, we show up in huge numbers. For instance, 584 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: at our summit program with spark Berk Methodist College, UM, 585 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: we have a program that really caters towards those first 586 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:54,439 Speaker 1: generational college students that have either about to flunk out 587 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,280 Speaker 1: the first semester of college and or on the brink 588 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: of dropping out of college. And we showed up with 589 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, forty or fifty of our first generational college 590 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: volunteers to really pour into those youths. We went over 591 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: study habits. We go over relationship building with your professor, 592 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: understanding how to sit up at the front not the back. 593 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,760 Speaker 1: Understanding where your resources and pockets folks are on campus 594 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 1: that can actually assist you with your tutoring needs. Or 595 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: if you have an issue with a computer and you 596 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: don't have a computer, who you need to go to 597 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: to get that computer? Um, you know, time management skills, 598 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: how to study and focus because studying in high school 599 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: and studying in colleges are to totally do different things. Um. 600 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 1: So that that's just one type of partnership that we have. 601 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: But what I But it takes a community and we 602 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: really live by that. It takes a village mindset. Um. 603 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: We have partnerships with uh cap ALPHASA, we have partnerships 604 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: with the United Way, we Spark, partnerships with the Spark 605 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: Academic Movement. Folks that really come in with us and 606 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: become brothers, become brothers restoring urban hope or sisters restoring 607 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 1: urban hope, and we do it as a community. But 608 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: one of our main projects that we have going on 609 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: now is called Connected Scholars and that is for our 610 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: college students because a lot of times when we talk 611 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: about mentoring a lot of people automatically assume that you're 612 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: talking about a kid that's about to go to jail, 613 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,720 Speaker 1: high school dropout, or X, Y and Z. We often 614 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 1: forget about those leaders, those young men and women that 615 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: will be leading our next generation. They need mentorship too, 616 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: and we need to pour into them even more during 617 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: these times. Churches, folks aren't going back to church anymore. 618 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: Everything is on social media. The world is as racist 619 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: as ever. We've got to train our leaders, you know, 620 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: we gotta be prepared for succession.
