You can't expect people to believe in your vision. Sometimes you gotta build by yourself until others can see it.

IMO: THIS is will destroy a young man's potential if you ignore it. It's why many young men stray from the light and seek darker paths.

The search for a king continues. I'm in these streets, walking and knocking.

I'll defeat this dragon one day at a time.

Maybe others have a better way, but this is my way.

Boots on the ground and creating something for our young men even if noone else will.

At the end of April I went to talk to present my program to Greenville Public School District's board about sending flyers home with the students to increase awareness. I'm still working to find young men that need something to do and would like to be prepared for the Fall. Let us know if you know anyone If you're interested message me here on facebook. I want to get them used to it before next school year.

Hey Big Head
The typical greeting used by an old acquaintance to rekindle some of the rapport between two people. Consider this my "hey big head" I'm alive and well. I hope the same is true for you. I'm pursuing my goals, albeit with many mistakes, setbacks, drawbacks, and challenges. Despite these, I will continue to pursue my goals and I hope you'll do the same.

If you're seeing this it's because you are in my network of friends on Facebook and I need your help. I'm raising funds for a mentoring program that I'm developing in Greenville, MS. The program is called . I help young men understand and navigate manhood, develop skills, and improve their beliefs about themselves and their community. My program is not unique except in the way that we focus on manhood first and foremost. I am currently working with the 100 Black Men of the Mississippi Delta and Greenville Public School District. But your support would give me the flexibility to build a "home" for our boys.

My goal is to reach 1 million people and ask each of them to enter our winter raffle. If I can do that then I can turn this entire area around. It's a huge favor to me and a lot to ask, but please help me spread the word. I'm hoping this will put me in touch with the right people who will be willing to help me put these boys on a better path. If you've made it this far, Thank You, and may God carry you to the fulfillment of the dreams he gave you.

Happy Holidays,
Matthew Dee

P.S.,

Attached you'll find a piece of poetry "Knock Knock", by Daniel Beaty that will forever resonate with me. It expresses the emotions and thoughts that many young boys will experience having no father figure or man on which they can depend.

The fear of failure often leads directly to failure. Don't be afraid to fail, it may be the only way you to learn to succeed.

If you want your son to play for a team, teach him sports.

If you want your son to own a team, teach him business.

Why not join a team that does both?
