E5

E5 is a theory of social change consisting of five fundamental elements. These elements will empower and serve as a path in a positive direction.

Engage

One thing has lead me to where I am today, service. Dr. King’s blueprint & call to action about greatness changed the way I think and move; “Anyone can be great because everyone can serve.” Mandated to do community service, as a youth, service became my ladder out of poverty. Be intentional about who & how you serve with but allow yourself to learn from others through service.

Educate

You educate yourself, you become conscious. “A must for us to grow in society.”

Edify

Instruct or improve (someone) morally, intellectually or spiritually said, Google

Experience

The oppurtunuty to create relationships. Build you network to develop benificial alliances. Watch as your efforts create change you and yOUR communities

As social change agents, everything we know and continue to learn, give. Whether it be time or resources we must sharpen each other for REAL social change.

MY Brothers Keeper

Initiative

Training or coaching on how to start, maintain and utilize the young people already doing the work.

As a family we grind together. I would be remiss to not include my beautiful wife's business, "You can have your cake and eat it too".
