Founder's Message

#theAcademy365 is a nonprofit organization incorporated on May 7, 2019, with a concept to provide more support and love to the young black men in our communities and educate them through relatable experiences, positive dialogue, and cultural exposures.

I founded #theAcademy365 with the purpose of using the transparency of my life successes and failures as a means to help young men learn through my mistakes. Approaching this project with full vulnerability, I decided I would share my journey as a black man in America to not only build young men into leaders, but also serve as a role model of strength, wisdom, and integrity. Our young black men need to know the importance of being their true authentic self and taking pride in being #REALmodels that serve their
communities.
