Hey Guys, I found out about this group/community grass-roots programs on twitter yesterday. This s an incredible mission being done by some good people. This program is for Young People and it is called Youth Empowerment. Youth Empowerment is basically a program started by Arturo Soriano and his wife aimed at empowering at-risk Youth (through mentorship) as well as partnering with Young People to change our communities (including community clean-ups and other restoration projects). Also, they have many positive and diverse activities like: paintball, football, and protest of injustices. The program is based out of Teralta Park in the City Heights Community (San Diego, CA).


What started out as a simple pickup basketball game, has turned into a community out-reached program that has reach-out and impacted many.


I believe that this is a great program and the prospect of changing life is always outstanding.
For more information about the program and meeting times checkout their website at cityheightslife.org


Also, for my other Brown Brothers; please checkout the Facebook and twitter page.


Last, checkout their Facebook for donation opportunities.

FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe. For anyone who has ever grown up in any city in the world, you know summer are boring. Now, ...
