Truth 2 Da Youth Mentorship Program is honored to support the communities of Brainerd and Baxter as we introduce our new mentorship curriculum and organizational structure designed to help build The Village under the umbrella of Truth 2 Da Youth.

The mission of our nonprofit is to follow the example of the Apostle Paul — not just to serve one community, but to plant seeds of hope, leadership, healing, and mentorship in communities across the nation.

Just as Paul planted churches and developed leaders, our vision is to plant mentorship programs that empower youth, strengthen families, and bring communities together.

The tragic loss of a 13-year-old young girl became a wake-up call that brought the Brainerd and Baxter communities together.

Her life and her story sparked a movement to address the pain, isolation, bullying, and struggles that many young people face today.

“What would I have to do to get another chance for you to ride on my back again?”

I can imagine Alexis saying these words to her little sister if she had just one more moment.

One more laugh.
One more hug.
One more memory.

A picture like this should only be a memory of love, not a reminder of someone who should still be here creating more moments.

Alexis was more than the cruel words someone said about her skin, her features, or the things that made her beautifully unique.

She was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a child with dreams.

Now her little sister, family, and friends have to hold onto pictures instead of making new memories.

We must do better.

No child should ever feel unwanted because of who they are.

Alexis’ life mattered.

Her voice mattered.

Her story matters.

We will continue to say her name. 🦋

Let’s come together and echo the precious voices of our young people.

Don't wait until this happened to one of your loved ones.
