Bridging The Gap Youth Program

Teamwork in Action at Monroe High!
Proud to be working alongside @eathegenius as we brought energy, innovation, and purpose to the students of Monroe High School. Together, we’re not just talking about mental health—we’re creating real, student-centered solutions that promote healing, leadership, and forward thinking.

This partnership is proof that when passionate minds come together, anything is possible. From interactive workshops to creative expression and innovative strategies, we’re building a movement that supports mental wellness and inspires the next generation to rise.

Teamwork + Innovation = Impact.
Let’s keep pushing for change. Let’s keep showing up. Our youth deserve it. 💪🏽🙏🏾❤️

Bridging The Gap Youth Program at William Monroe High!
What an amazing opportunity to pour into the next generation! We had a powerful time connecting with the youth, sharing the importance of POSITIVE PROMOTION and helping them understand how their digital imprint shapes their future. From real talk about social media to eye-opening conversations about innovation and opportunity, the students were locked in and ready to grow!

Huge thanks to Erick Allen for inviting us and believing in the mission. This is what Bridging The Gap is all about — empowering youth to be leaders in life, online and off.

White is often seen as the color of purity, light, and beginnings—but never forget that black is bold, powerful, and beautiful in its own right. It holds depth, strength, and elegance. The world may try to place one above the other, but both exist in balance and brilliance. Learn to love yourself in every shade you come in. Embrace your people, your culture, your roots—they are not just worthy, they are radiant.
My prayer Amen 🙏🏾 ❤️

We had an amazing time visiting the Boys & Girls Club in Newport News, VA, empowering youth through Positive Promotions and Innovation!

We talked about how their digital imprint—what they post, share, and like on social media—can impact their future opportunities. From branding to business, these young minds are already building their futures, and we’re here to help guide the way!

Want to bring this powerful workshop to your school, organization, or youth group?

Let’s keep inspiring the next generation to promote positivity, think like entrepreneurs, and own their digital presence.

💡 Positive Promotions: OWN Your Creativity! 💡

We’re talking Roblox, AI, and the Digital Imprint—but let’s make one thing clear: YOU are the builder. YOU are the creator. YOU can be the owner.

Instead of just playing the game, why not create it? Instead of just scrolling, why not innovate? Our youth have the power to shape the future by learning how to build, design, and OWN their creativity in the digital world.

The next wave of innovators is HERE. Let’s start thinking beyond the screen and into ownership, leadership, and impact! Who’s ready to take their creativity to the next level? 🚀✨

@highlight Speaking at the school board last night brought back memories of the work we undertook at Brooks Crossing and the opportunities it could provide for our youth and young adults. The fact that it’s not being utilized for the benefit of the entire community is something I guess it’s time to fight for; it’s 3.4 million STEM and Innovation jobs and opportunities that are not being filled by our students. They have been hiring people from other countries because our students are not being exposed properly. Even AI, something that could really help us, is not being taught. We always seem to be behind, but it’s our time to teach our youth that the talents and creativity in tech can change their lives. #BrooksCrossing BridgeTheGap #youthempowerment
