PURPOSE & MISSION

Many youth struggle with peer pressure. Almost 75% become a statistic of their environment. They choose to make bad decisions by becoming involved with drugs, guns, alcohol, stealing,

and other negative behavior that damage the society as a whole.

Ben's desire is to help urban communities across the nation, by sharing positive words and giving solutions to solve situations. He also would like to reach youth, to help them with making better decisions in life and following their dreams. He believes that his projects will reach youth and help improve their lives, by allowing them to see themselves in situations and giving them tools

that help them make better decisions, that would keep them out of trouble in school, at home and in their neighborhoods.

Ben states that he's the right person to help solve some of the problems with youth, because he can relate—being the same age as his peers and going through peer pressure as well—he seems to understand them.

Being a good example...Ben is someone other youth can identify with and listen to.

Ben's goal is to be a great role model and continue to make projects that will help youth with better decision making and pursuing their dreams.

Ben says, "It’s not always easy, but with my faith and with some effort, anything is possible."
