The Message

Three core principles that can transform lives and prevent the path to incarceration.

Respect

Respect all people and especially your elders. Understanding respect builds the foundation for all positive relationships.

Wellness

Your body is your property and be careful who you allow in the premises. Taking care of yourself is the first step to taking care of others.

Etiquette

Open doors for women and be mindful of the ages of those around you. Proper etiquette shows character and builds respect.

Transformation Possible

Anyone can change their story with the right guidance

"When you're in trouble, the ones who love you are incarcerated also."

But transformation is possible. Today, instead of illegal activity and running the streets, I'm a father and a businessman. My mother went from addiction to becoming a counselor and nurse practitioner. Change is possible for everyone.
