We concentrate on growth in our communities. The education of our children and the strengthening of our faith. We also want to have fun while we are together and working on projects. By developing relationships and friendships, the organization will prosper, and networking will allow each one of us to become even stronger. We need to share with each other our differences. Teach our Children that the streets and gangs are not their families. We also teach financial freedom and independence for the black family."
