  Speaker 1: you know the thing about the reason I wanted to

• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of all black Greek fraternity is about community, is about uplift,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: is about brotherhood, and that is why they're they're found
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and plus education and mentorship and so a lot of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: people it gets lost to a lot of people the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: core basis of what the black fraternities all that because
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: they're here by party and they're here by stepping, they
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hear about all these things walking in live you on yard,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that, looking tough. Things like that
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: tell us about your experience and the values that have
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: been brought to you, positive values, because a lot of
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: negative things you're always just about the lawsuits or a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: bad played situation that didn't go right for students, which
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: we don't that we don't agree upon that we don't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: acknowledge that something that should happen in any called white
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: fraternity or sorority. But it is a lot of positive
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: things that come out of joining an organization like the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Cap Alpha side as is like Omega Sci Fi. But
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: talk about your calf experience that you had. I'm assuming
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it is at the Universe of South Carolina, University of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, up state. Man it stop point you tell
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: about your experience. So I'll tell you my first um
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: deep UM and enriching experience with community service came UM
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: from activities with cap alfaside. I served as the Community
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Service Chairman also known as the God Right Chairman for
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: three and a half years while I was in college.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, when you hear BRO
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it stands for Brothers Restoring Urban Hope Incorporated. And when
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: we started Brothers Restoring Urban Home sixteen years ago, it
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: was with our fraternity Brothers. So you know, on my campus,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, we were known as the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Brothers and UH and and we started out really coming
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: together and providing mentoring opportunities for our campus through the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: fraternity and UM we did it with Brods when you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: think about it, and UM and even other fraternities. So
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: we do a lot of stuff with Omega SA Fire.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: But we were founded on that principle achievement in every
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: field of human endeavor. And you're right that does get lost,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: UM when you think about fraternities. But that's where I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: found my passion. UM. So hats offt the cap A
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: facade and UM all the brothers UM that that are
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: out there servant. Yeah, you know, like I tell it,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I tell all my friends, you know, I telling that
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: when I pledged to make a SI fire, it directed me.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It gave me vision that really, uh, you know, we
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: always have a fire inside of us, Victor, a fire
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to just first of all, I find ourselves and when
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you're around other bros, which I really relate to because
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: you know, you know that stuff of this level have
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: been out of a long time and the fact that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you guys have turned it into b r u age
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: bro is guided by the principle that all students, regardless
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of socioeconomic status, family dynamics, nationality, or past failures, deserve
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a chance at a bright future that we represents. And
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you guys have built it out into an organization that's powerful.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And like when I pledge, you know we're getting with
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: government chiefs, I would getting with doing parties, you know,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to give money to local, local community organizations and because
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that's what I was supposed to do now. But that
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that people see it that way. See they
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: see it as a challenge. But I look at your resume, Victor,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I don't see giving back as a challenge to you.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Talk about your personality, my man, man, I've always, um
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: have been in fortunate situations. Um I grew up UM
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: in a single parent home. UM. I have two brothers,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: one older, one younger, UM, all who pledged cap alfasa UM.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I actually pledged my younger brother through Camp Alfasa. UM.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: But I understand from from a long time ago that UM,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: where I grew up at UM, things could have turned
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: left real fast. And had I not had mentors and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: uh folks in my life, UM such as my my
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: basketball coaches, UM, my pastor um uh my my my
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: real good friends, UM that were kind of pointing us
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: in the right direction of UM of doing more than
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: just graduating high school and stand in the local town
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and and just doing whatever. UM. I understood early on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that I had a response ability once I got to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a place, um of of some type of success, to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to reach back and pour into my community. And I've
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: always just had that about me. UM. And and it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and it's and it's morphed into a passion. So when
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I go to work, UM, it's not work. UM, this
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: is this is life, you know what I mean? This
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: is this is easy. Every day is an adventure. When
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I wake up, UM to to serve. And that's in
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the community capacity, in the church and in the schools
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: It's finally here, the season of celebration, and no matter

• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I when I looked at the mission, you know, because
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: there's so much it continued. One thing I liked about
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: everything I read. It was like a continual thought. You know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I din broke you didn't break mission And
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the word the mission is restoring the urban community through
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: group menbership, which goes back to our fraternity talk leadership
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: trail which we all knew. Hey man, you learned leadership
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: in the fraternity. You learn it, you know, Like like
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm not turning this into a pro fraternity,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: but I gotta go. We made us, man, maybe we
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: made us be able to have these conversations the reality
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that men came into our life who are strangers, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I said, they did all the right things. I don't
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: get me wrong. Someone was stupid, Okay, you know what
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about, victors. Someone was stupid. But in the end,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: when you crossed and you became, when you was able
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to define yourself as a man victor and defining yourself
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and your other brothers listened to you and say, hey man,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: we have a bigger calling, a bigger cause. And that's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: where you also in your mission statement you talk about
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: spiritual guidance. And that's the last thing you say in
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: your mission statement. Why is that so important? Man um?
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Even though it's mentioned last, it's the most important piece
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: um of brothers restoring urban hope. When you think about hope,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you think about the spirit of the man, and you
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: gotta have a strong spirit. You gotta have a fighting spirit.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: You have to have a positive spirit. UM. You have
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to have a uh in my case, a spirit of
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: God UM in order to have hope in this world
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that we live in. UM. So as we talk about
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: building up the man um or or the female, because
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: we saw females too. When you when you talk about
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: building them up to teach them leadership skills, UM, to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to teach them um or or try and mentor them.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You you, you, you have to deal with the spirit
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of that person too. And that's that's their health, UM,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that's their mental spirit, that's their um. You know that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: spirituality UM is everything that makes up that person. So
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: we have to deal with that also, especially our young
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: black African American brothers and sisters. We really have to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: deal with the spirit before we even start talking about
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: restoring hope. You know, victory. When I when I look
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: at you, you know, first of all, I'm proud of you,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: okay proudly because you're younger than me. I always tell
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: people my path is to make your path easier. And
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: just what you're doing for people in your mentorship campaigns
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: mail and female him and you know, being recognized for
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: your community development work. You know, you're on the board
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: of Habitaty Manager for Humanity. How does that um? You know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: do you have time for anything? Bro? That's what I'm saying.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: You do you have time? You know, because I'll tell
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: you I left out a lot of stuff. Okay, I
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: just went through and say, okay, this is recognizable. You
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: are a busy man and your service, victor is to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the community. And and I go back to that because
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that gets lost because when I grew up, you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: there were people who I grew up in the hood
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: with a phil War Texas, and we moved to a betterhood,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you know, because you know, it was just so much
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: money to get you out of the original hood. But
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a along the way, there were teachers who kept me right,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you know, told me you you you unique, you have
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: unique skills. Who are the people who kept you focused
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: early on you know, like because I know I can
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: tell you for I can tell you my sixth grade
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: teacher stopped me in the hallway. I can remember that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: very clearly. I can remember my eighth grade teacher always
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: used to just pour into me knowledge. I remember my
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: band instructor, you know, Mr King. I can remember Ms
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Trailer who was my biology teacher. M Ris Nelson who
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: was my math teaching. I hated math and my degree
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in college math okay, and so so these people poured
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: into me, And now you're pouring into the community who
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: poured into you, Victor h Um. I had three phases
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: in life where I can point back to that were
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: very impactful. Um. It was my basketball career when I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: was in high school. UM, getting ready to go to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: college and get my first scholarship playing basketball. UM. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: had a coach that that really really showed tough love. UM.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: He didn't let me off the hook for anything. His
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: name is Coach how McManus, UM and I still remember
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: vividly the first camp UM that he put me out
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: of because I had some disciplinary issues and but but
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: what but what? But what he did was put his
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: foot down. And now I looked back on it, he
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: was teaching me a lesson of discipline. And when I
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: was at home waiting for everybody else to come back
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for Kemp, all I kept re winding back in my
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: mind was, Man, I'm missing out on an opportunity, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: he didn't give up on me, you know what I mean?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: That they came back. They checked up on me once
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: everybody got back. But I learned my lesson early. UM.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I had another mentor. His name is Jermaine Grave. He's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: actually a brove georgs Um. He's a he's an omega
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and he was one of the guys in the neighborhood
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: that actually UM graduated with honors and went off to college.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: So that was somebody that we were able to look
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: at and see like, wow, he did it. And he
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: took me under his wing and he told me, uh
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a long time ago, he told me, and we still
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: had his conversation to this day. He said, you always
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: had that leadership UM quality. And he said it's up
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to you, you know how far you go. And I
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: just remember taking us to church and you know, really
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: showing us what college life was like on his campus.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And then third and then that third phase was in
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: my work field, which was one of the most important
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: phases that I went through. I worked in corporate UM
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: for a little bit about eight and a half years,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: but I met two young I met two brothers UM.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: One of them is your fraternity brother and M and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: another one UM is in management, still with the same company,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: but They always would tell me, don't ever ever ever
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: put your hope in man, don't you ever do it,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: especially in this arena. And and they taught me how
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to play the game. They taught me how to speak
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the language. They taught me how to not be so
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: uh caught up in my feelings per se with certain
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: things that were going on in the workplace, but to
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: always outthink, um, you're oppressent. And those kinds of things
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: right there helped me maneuver in the space that I'm
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in now as far as relationship building, working in on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the professional setting, and also giving that knowledge back to
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: some of our youth um that are headed into college
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: friend or graduating um college. So as I think about
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: those three phases, those are far people that I can
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: say we'll be on a shadow of the doubt I
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: still stay in touch with to this day to add
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: a major impact on my life. Look at your children's
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: eyes to see the true magic of a forest. It's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: a storybook world for them. You look and see a tree,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: They see the wrinkled face of a wizard with arms
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: outstretched to the guy. They see treasure and pebbles. They
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: see a windy path that lead to adventure and they
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: see you. They're fearless. Guide. Is this fascinating world? Find
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a forest near you and start exploring. I Discover the

  Speaker 1: Sure no? What else grows in the forest? Our imagination,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: our sense of wonder, and our family bonds grow too,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: because when we disconnect from this and connect with this,
• 19:30

• 20:09
  Speaker 1: brought to you by the United States Forest Service and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the AD Council. Cool. I'm talking to Victor Dora Jr. Uh.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: You know, he's the President Executive director of broad Mentorship
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: dot org. Now I'm kind of confused now brought the brother.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I gotta be real honest about this. He justn't mentioned
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: two Omega men that they were valuable in his life
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that pointed him in the right direction. Was obviously he
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: came here. Obviously he was directed by his older brother
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: who told him new. He became a new I'm trying
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to figure out out. I just had to bring that out.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He's gonna mention to another mega man. Gotta give you
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: credit that two Omega man kept me on the right track.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: But man, that's important. That's why. That's why it's so
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: beautiful you to say that, because at the beginning of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: our interview, I was just talking about the role that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: for Helnalman played in the community that we don't get
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: credit for. Not that we're looking for credit, don't get
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: me wrong, but there's so many like HBCUs get that
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: don't give respect for the education that they provide and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the people that they have working in this country and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: just changing the conference of the country. Now, education still
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: is important to you. Now you went to the University
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. Is that the game Cocks? That's the Game
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: car Okay, cool, I'll try to figure out. I gotta
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: listen you. Now you're over at Clemson. How are you
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: doing all this? Man? How you getting help from the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: brothers of megas? I find you go to your verse
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. Now you're over Clemson University. You all over
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the place. Victor talked to me, Man, what's going on
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: with you? Benny? UM? So so so at USC up state,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: which is uh an extenching of USC. But it's here
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: in my hometown in Spartanburg. That's where I got my
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: own nonprofit administration and management UM. That's how I got
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: into the field UM that I'm am in today. And
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: with Clemson UM, they have an excellent UM UM Master
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: MP a program that focuses on nonprofit UM work and
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: so it was just a good match UM for for
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the skill set that I'm looking for UM as far
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: as nonprofit work goes, and the administrative space. Now, now,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: why do you have to go further with the academic training? One?
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: We say, hey, man, you got all you get at awards.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: What you're accomplishing? You know you you know, you're you're fluent,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: your articulate, you have a you know where you're going
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: with your life? Why does want you have to continue
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: education in this platform, right. UM. So when you think
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: about nonprofit work, UM. I know a lot of people
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: think about the services. A lot of people think about UM.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: You know, the the volunteers UM, A lot of people
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: think about UM. The way is that different nonprofits affect
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: people's life UM. But UM, when you talk to a
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: lot of nonprofit professionals in the administration UM space, UM,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you'll hear UM lingos such as grant writing, capacity abuilding, UM.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: You will hear lingos such as UM you know, fundraising,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: endowments UM. A lot of backhouse administrative work UM. That
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that comes with the different I R s UM, UM
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: stipulations and things on raising money. And that's those are
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: our our specialties UM and our skill set UM that
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of our African American UM nonprofit professionals UM.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And it's you know, it's it's across the board UM.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: From an equity standpoint, we don't have a lot of
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: those skills UM. And we have a lot of good works.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of great programs, and we run
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of good programs. UM. But when you look
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: at the fundraising and the amount of money that is
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: out there, you really have to know your stuff. UM,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: you really have to understand what you're getting into, UM
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: when you're trying to raise you know, to three million
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: dollars a year, which is ultimately, uh my goal for
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: our nonprofits. So I just want to be ahead of
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the game, especially UM in the movement that we're in
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: right now, the post covid UM slash Black Lives Matter
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: movement where they're looking for African American all run organizations
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: that have their stuff together, and we just want to
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: make sure that we're in a in a place and
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: in a space where we're comfortable. When you say, hey, Vick,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I got a million dollars I want to give to you.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Can you do you have the capacity? Do you have
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the knowledge base? Do you have the skill set to
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: even manage that? Um? So that's what I've dedicated my
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: education towards UM, really understanding the space and and being
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: a master of my faith and the captain of my soul. Victor, Hey, man,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: anything I can do? Come on now, you have me
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: in a minute for him being limp. I love it. Man.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you've joined the interview, man, because I appreciate
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: your youth, your spirit. We talked about the mission of
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Broad mendership dot org. Now the vision, you know, the
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: vision is through your mentory program, you desire to make
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: personal connections that inspired those in the urban communities to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: discover who they are. That's important because sometimes I know,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you know, all I can see, man, what I saw
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: on TV or what happened down the street. And sometimes
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: what happened on the street wasn't always what I wanted
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to be, but I didn't have an option to see
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: what I could be. And so that means developing their
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: strengths and overcome their challenges. Like you said, like I'm
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: like I'm talking about and I'm not telling anybody. Look, man,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't come from the I didn't I went in
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the gang. I didn't have to deal with drugs on
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the corner. I'm not saying that, but I have to deal.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I deal. I dealt with a situation that level to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of unsafe situations. And that's what we're talking about.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: We're talking about where you know, we had to be
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: on the porch before the light went out. Okay, that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: was demand. And when I look at what you're doing
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: with deals with young girls and boys elementary to middle school, now,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that's what that has always been considered a very important
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: era to capture young minds elementary to middle school, because
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: they've always said that once they get in high school
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: sometimes that spirit can be lost and the direction of
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: failure has been so defined that it cannot be turned around.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Not saying this in supple, but if you can catch
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: them early, you can catch a larger number to keep
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: them straight. Am I writing my definition of that tourn right?
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And I do want to um to say that our
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: main focus is on the seventeen through four year olds. However, however,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: to your point, we do have a lot of partnerships
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: within the community. A lot of our programmatic partnerships and
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: community partnerships are with the age range that you talked about.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And you are absolutely right. Um. They say that if
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: you want to teach a person a different language, Um,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: you can't do it when they turn fifteen, sixteen and up,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and you're definitely not gonna do it when they get older.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: If you want to teach a person a different language,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you teach them when they're a baby all the way up,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: because it's easier to retain, it's easier to mold the mind. Um,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it's easier uh to As they say, it's it's easier,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: um to to to build up a kid than break
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: a man, you know what I'm saying, And and and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and yes, you have to capture them at that early age. UM.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: But for Brothers Restoring Urban Hope, what we saw because
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: we work in an area where there are thousands I
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: mean when I say thousands, there are. There are thousands
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: of youth that are being served by the Boys and
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Girls Clubs, the Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and the Boy
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Scouts of America, and all of them fit that age
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: range that we just talked about, that younger age range
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: where Brothers Restoring Urban Hope found an opportunity and we
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: said we wanted to fill the space of is what
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: happens when those kids age out of that program at
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: seventeen years old. I'm gonna tell you what happens. We
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: start to treat the like adults. We start to put
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: them in an adult system. We were, we expect them
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: to make a decisions. Those cute little babies that you
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: were training up when they were sixteen, and you love
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: them when they were sixteen. Now society hates them now
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: that they got a little beard and a little mustache,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you know, a little spot, you know that they stay
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: in or you know, got their license or whatever the
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: case may be. But that's one of the most pivotal
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: times for my area because what happens is they fall
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: into that economic that racial equity, economic mobility UM cycle. Right.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is that that's where
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: those numbers start popping up, homelessness, under under paid um uh,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: not being able to get a job or get into school.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Those are our seventeen through twenty four year olds that
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you're seeing popping up in that racial equity report. And
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: those are the folks that we are really trying to
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: capture and sitting in the gap for them. Um. And
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you'll get to me talking about the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: different services we offer them. But that's that's the main
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: focus of Brothers restoring up the hope, because that's where
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of hope is lost. I want to I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: want to talk because I know we're getting close to
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the end. I want to say two things, and then
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: I want you to talk about your services. Uh. If
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: you don't when you get to that seventeen you've been rejected,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: you've been told I got you, you've been said, Hey man,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I'll be right back, don't come back. You've been dising
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Fried Chap franchise, as a as a young man, you've
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: been discouraged, you've been emotionally and maybe physically kicked to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the curve. And I know this for a fact. You
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: have to make a commitment to these boys or young
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: men because they're boys, they're really boys, because they didn't
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: they didn't get to live a normal life where they
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: could cry, where they could hug, where they can see failure.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: And somebody picked this beery back up and give him
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: a hope to make it. It's all right to make
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: a mistake. And so when I when I and so
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I know the journey that you're dealing with, man is
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: emotionally so challenging, because you can't have a day off
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: victor not with these boys. You can't because that day
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you have off is the day could be the worst
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: day of life for the kid that you had awful.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: And I remember, man that, uh I remember when I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: first went into a program like that in Houston, Texas
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and came in, I spoke. The boys didn't say nothing.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: They looked at me, go okay, thank you. I said,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: what's what's the problem. Well, you know, I know you
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you feel good about yourself. I hope so, because they
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: come in here all the time, do these little speeches
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: like you do, and don't come back. Then I realize
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: right there when that little kid said, and he was
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a little kid, he's like six three to four, right,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: these ain't a little little kids. But like you said,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: they've they've they've transcended into manhood and people start treating
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: them like man. But they've have the development of a
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: child life skills how to communicate what's my next decision,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: so they're susceptible to making mistakes they can't recover from.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: That's what you're dealing with every day. And that's seventeen
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: twenty four age group. What gets you going, man, Victor,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: because it can be so frustrating, Brother, it could be
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: so breaking, emotionally breaking for you, and then you have
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: these services closerus out by talking about this, man, I'm
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: so proud of you to spending time to tell me
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: about your story. But especially the broad mentorship dot org store,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: which is available you can go there is go to
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: that website that's available on that website. Because I broadcast
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: on all these HBCU schools and and my whole thing
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: is to allow people to understand you as value. You know,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: you're in the heart of HBCU all this area. So
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: but man, speak your piece, man, so we can get
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: out of here. Man. Absolutely. Um, you spoke on something
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a little earlier and you said, Um, you have to
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: you know, understand your why and you have to know
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: your why and who you are. And it's it's one
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: of those situations where I meet with a lot of
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: youth all the time, and through different partnerships, whether it
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: be d J J d S s UM, the alternative schools, UM,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: the regular schools, the colleges, and you know, we meet
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: folks who just got out of prison all the way
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to folks who are two kids who are about to
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: go to law school. So it's an array of kids.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: But one thing that I've always not understood and we're
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: still trying to understand this is when you ask a
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: kid why and what's your why, they put their head
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: down in and thinking about it, and a lot of times,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: eight times out of ten or eight kids out of ten,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and they can't tell you there why. They don't understand
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: their purpose and what we want to do through our services,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: because we don't do this just Victor and my staff
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: of six. We have volunteers that range from three to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: four hundred volunteers throughout the community that we can call
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: on at any given time to give a kid what
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: they need at that time. And we do group mentoring
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: so it's not one to one mentoring. So when we
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: show up, we show up in huge numbers. For instance,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: at our summit program with spark Berk Methodist College, UM,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: we have a program that really caters towards those first
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: generational college students that have either about to flunk out
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the first semester of college and or on the brink
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: of dropping out of college. And we showed up with
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: you know, forty or fifty of our first generational college
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: volunteers to really pour into those youths. We went over
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: study habits. We go over relationship building with your professor,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: understanding how to sit up at the front not the back.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Understanding where your resources and pockets folks are on campus
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that can actually assist you with your tutoring needs. Or
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: if you have an issue with a computer and you
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: don't have a computer, who you need to go to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: to get that computer? Um, you know, time management skills,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: how to study and focus because studying in high school
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and studying in colleges are to totally do different things. Um.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: So that that's just one type of partnership that we have.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: But what I But it takes a community and we
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: really live by that. It takes a village mindset. Um.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: We have partnerships with uh cap ALPHASA, we have partnerships
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: with the United Way, we Spark, partnerships with the Spark
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Academic Movement. Folks that really come in with us and
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: become brothers, become brothers restoring urban hope or sisters restoring
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: urban hope, and we do it as a community. But
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: one of our main projects that we have going on
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: now is called Connected Scholars and that is for our
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: college students because a lot of times when we talk
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: about mentoring a lot of people automatically assume that you're
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: talking about a kid that's about to go to jail,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: high school dropout, or X, Y and Z. We often
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: forget about those leaders, those young men and women that
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: will be leading our next generation. They need mentorship too,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and we need to pour into them even more during
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: these times. Churches, folks aren't going back to church anymore.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Everything is on social media. The world is as racist
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: as ever. We've got to train our leaders, you know,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: we gotta be prepared for succession. So right now we're
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: in a Connect the Scholars program um that that are
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: really training up our next leaders, um and and really
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: helping them understand what social capital looks like, connecting them
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: with different mentors in their career fields or in their
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: leadership fields, and really pouring into them on a one
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: on on a group mentor and basis, and and teaching
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: them how to operate in these spaces that they're going
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: to encounter once they graduate high school and college and
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: be comfortable in those spaces and be confident. Um. So
