They were given one task: build a house… without saying a word.

What looked like a simple challenge quickly turned into a lesson in patience, body language, and trust. Different ideas, no voices, and the pressure to still find a way to work together.

For many teens, this isn’t just an exercise—it’s real life. Being expected to follow direction, work with adults, and navigate situations where they feel unheard.
Today wasn’t just about building with magnets. It was about understanding that communication goes beyond words—and that every voice matters, even when it’s not spoken.

Teamwork

This weekend a few of our mentees and their families attended the Black Health Research Lab at the University of Maryland for their inaugural community convening “The Village Gathers: Centering Community Wisdom in Violence Prevention”.

A day filled with healing, reflection, and collaboration. Bridging the gap between youth and adults while working toward real solutions to reduce gun violence.

Thank you again, ✊🏾❤️

Session Seven: From the barber’s chair to life lessons.

💈 Today our mentees explored the barbering industry and the deeper impact of the barbershop in the Black community—hospitality, mentorship, entrepreneurship, investing, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution. Building skills, confidence, and vision for the future.

We want to give a special thanks and shoutout to our good brothers and barbers over at Exclusive Grooming Barbershop for allowing us to stop by and for pouring into our young men. 🤝🏾💪🏾
