As the Founder and CEO, my personal mission is to utilize my skills, education, professional and personal life experiences to impact every student in our program to strive for greater. My desire for I HAVE WIT is to invest time, resources and knowledge in each student to ensure we provide support and empower them to pursue a path in life that leads to being a productive citizen and positive role model to their own children and/or other children in the community passing on a legacy of generational standards for greatness. With the help of I HAVE WIT, I firmly believe our students will be motivated and inspired to achieve their goals, build self-esteem, commit to personal development and build a life on principles.
Description
I HAVE WIT was created to empower middle and high school students with what it takes to be confident, information-seeking, and successful adults. Our goal is to inform students of what it takes to set and achieve their goals, what it takes to have character and integrity, what it takes to develop and maintain a network of support, and what it takes to get into college, start their own business, and/or land their dream job. In short, we want students to know what it takes to be successful in school and beyond. In our program, participants take part in activities such as: conferences, workshops geared toward their personal aspirations, book studies, interviews, field trips (college visits, sports events, etc.), mentorships, and the annual I HAVE WIT ceremony.
We are now in the stages of seeking procurement of a space where we can build Atlanta’s first Boxing Academy. With a focus on the underserved youth of the inner city of Atlanta, we will build a state-of-the-art facility that will also double as a homeschool alternative where students will be able to train in boxing fitness, all while receiving wholesome meals daily, be educated in nutrition and agriculture, and have access to job placement and entrepreneurial opportunities.
We are currently partnered with Mercedes Benz stadium to raise funds for our nonprofit and could really use as much volunteers as we can handle.
