MLK - Discovering and Constructing a Blueprint for Life

MLK's October '67 speech to junior high school students. It caught my eye because "blueprint" is how we have come to describe our HOUSE - Holistic Unlimited Student Empowerment Method to our students. Beyond a speech or presentation, the HOUSE Method not only encourages students to consider their Blueprint, we provide tools and strategies for students layout and begin constructing their futures according to their own, self-defined Blueprint.

MLK's components of the Blueprint included:
1. Belief in One's Self-Worth
2. Determination to Achieve Excellence
3. Commitment to "Eternal Life Principles"

The HOUSE Method's components include:
1. Knowing and Developing One's Self
2. Knowing and Navigating One's Environments & Spaces
3. Planning and Setting Goals
4. Growing to One's Full Potential thru Action and Reflection

MLK's intention, as a minister and social justice leader, was to inform and inspire.

NWE's intention, as facilitators of educational, professional and community empowerment, is to engage folks in a process and provide tools and strategies.

Happy Birthday MLK and thank you for informing and inspiring around a set of principles and practices to which we could relate, connect and build upon.

Celebrating you and all the participants in the social change movement in which you played a central role.

Celebrating 25 Years - Facilitating Student & Family Educational Empowerment, Growth & Success

NWE and our signature HOUSE (academic, personal and leadership empowerment) methodology has established a footprint and built a network across the educational pipeline - University (undergrad and grad), Community College, K-12 - and across the region and state.

Sharing a visual (swag) sample of whom we have served since launching our practice in 2000. Grateful for the partners who have engaged us, particularly our long-term clients, and ALWAYS happy to represent and elevate their brands.

Whether long-term multi-service contracts, individual student or parent empowerment workshops, speeches and presentations, staff development and training or empowerment program development, we have elevated "empowerment" from a mantra or abstract idea to a defined, systematic, dynamic process with measureable short-term and long-term growth and success outcomes.

In year 26, we are still searching for potential stakeholders, clients and partners who unsatisfied with incremental progress and ambitious about facilitating transformational growth and success in collaboration with the students and families they serve.

Roots of GROW

Revisited the origins of our GROW - Greater Resources thru Organizing and Working - resident-driven community development methodology last Wednesday night.

As we re-engage the resident/ community empowerment side of our work, we found ourselves joining friends and colleagues in a space symbolic of our introduction to the practice of empowering residents as decision-makers and stakeholders in the use of the space and resources in their communities, the Dunbar Hotel on historic Central Avenue.

As we moved from Vernon-Central to Vermont-Manchester to Hyde Park to Leimert Park to Inglewood, our clients, colleagues, sponsors and partners enabled us to develop and evolve the practice of engaging residents and other stakeholders in a defined, intentional process of empowering themselves as decision makers in the use of the space and resources in their communities.

NWE has been for the past 25 years, primarily and Education consulting practice focused on empowering students and parents for growth and success.

We endeavor to grow the community development side of our consulting practice this year, so this event at the Dunbar, sponsored by the UCLA Alumni Association and co-sponsored by the UCLA Black Alumni Association was an unexpected but timely affirmation of the past and future of NWE's GROW methodology.

Celebrating 25 Years of Student/ Parent/ Community Empowerment

RIP Jawanza Kunjufu
His Feb 1987 visit to UCLA with Naim Akbar was a launchpad for our Student Initiated Student Empowerment program, the Black Student Alliance's Academic Supports Program (ASP). Our understanding of student retention and success was DIRECTLY informed by his brilliance.

This 2-day event organized by our program coordinator and delivered to a packed audience during my term as UCLA BSA Chair provided the foundation for our ASP philosophy and resulting methodology. Steps 1 and 2 of what became the HOUSE Method are visible on the chalkboard. This book was one of the first we used in student-driven staff training and program development.

In our work with other marginalized student groups, and in dialogue other educational philosophies, including Paolo Freire's critical pedagogy, we co-created the Holistic Student Empowerment approach. NWE has since refined and codified HSE as the HOUSE Method we use to this day. K-12, Parent Empowerment, Workforce and Staff/ Professional Development and Resident/ Stakeholder Empowerment applications have evolved in our work over the past 25 years.
