Provides guidance, support and encouragement to shape the competence and character of boys and young men of color.

The strategy is a “Train the Trainer” approach to develop an effective and sustainable network of mentors for these boys and young men of color (AGES 12 - 18).

Some may ask, "Why is such a program needed"? Current events along with the images presented in the media demonstrate the need for “effective and sustainable” mentoring programs.

The TIES THAT BIND vision aligns with "My Brother’s Keeper" initiative which reinforces the importance of high quality & sustained mentoring for these youth.

TIES THAT BIND equips mentors with tools & techniques to have a meaningful impact in the lives of these youth so they can achieve their maximal potential.

The Team

As the Founder of Ties That Bind, my dream remains to see young black boys excel academically and professionally with a strong support system from their fathers, family and community. We are committed to building and binding our communities one knot at a time.

Our Ties That Bind vision is that our global communities are thriving training grounds where youth becomes leaders of tomorrow for the world. It is our mission to inspire black boys to dream - believe - achieve.

Favorite Food: Grilled Huge Portobello Mushroom caps; they feel so healthy as I consume them.

Favorite Color: Yellow because it represents family and warmth.

Goal in Life: To encourage our youth to dream big dreams and believe these dreams are possible.
