POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Mass Incarceration is one of the most expensive and degrading industries that has been set in place. It is indeed slavery, legalized through the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. At Constitution Day, professor Rebecca Beibel and Mercer County College has ensured that those who have lived experience were able to express themselves on this platform.
The system that fuels mass incarceration is motivated by greed, social and cultural control, and hatred for humanity. Slavery is gruesome and has always been the driving force of wealth for this nation. Instead of chattel slavery on plantations, slavery has transformed into prisons resembling concentration camps. The goal has not been rehabilitation or correction, it has been control and greed.
This reality can change. However it starts with those who are first fed up with the reality. The Truth is in front of our faces and it is not being hidden. It’s time to address this structure with the correct approach. Constitution Day was centered on making that approach.
Major thanks to God first and foremost ✝️. Major thanks to Professor Rebecca who is dedicated to changes, major thanks to my brothers who spoke and are actively seeking change, major thanks to the students who came to listen, major thanks to all who play their part in this world. Your position is helpful to say the least.

On August 8th, 2022, there was a major turning point for me in my life. It was the first time that I allowed what was inside of me to be heard by those around me. This message was to people in my environment, enduring the same circumstances that I was enduring, who were struggling and experiencing hatred, oppression, harassment, belittlement, disrespect, discrimination, and racism.

What began as honest expression became a speech. The journey after this has been amazing, to say the least, and I have outgrown the lifestyle and mentality that I was stuck in for so long.

At Saturday’s Open Mic, “Words Hit Different Here,” I spoke this speech. As you listen to a portion of the speech, please try to envision who I was speaking to.

This was the day in our environment when Christians and Muslims began to be kind to each other and respect each other as human beings first. This made us stronger than we’ve ever been.

Please hear this speech. It is the first speech I ever wrote. 🤲🏾

When life is filled with burdens, we now know that when we make each other’s problems “our” problems, we can lean on each other, pour into each other, and become resourceful. There is no need to live or struggle alone when you have community.

The community came out to support, show love, give back, and invest in the community. Major salute to all who helped pour into the community. We’ve been denied help in many areas; however, we now know that together, we can achieve great things.

Major thanks to God, first and foremost. Major salute to all who donated. Major salute to all who came and supported. Major salute to our brothers who helped make this happen. Major salute to the Overcomers Intervention Unit, which is dedicated to being more active in the community. Major salute to Second Chance Mentoring, who went out of their way to pour into the youth and give back to the community. Major salute to Mt. Zion.

Divine missions have become, and are still becoming, reality. Personal missions are being fulfilled.

Much love to everyone ❤️‍🔥.

Accepting reality and Truth is the first stage of our growth. If we don’t accept reality and hold ourselves accountable, we will only continue to become worse. Nevertheless, it’s important that we hear the Truth so that we do not become consumed by lies. The youth—young men and women who are still figuring out their place in this world—should not be subjected to only lies, delusions, and deceptions. The youth should be poured into correctly, with power and words that contribute to their growth, not their demise.

What we see now is a flawed culture and an identity crisis for many people. The desire to be socially accepted has led people to neglect their true personalities and aspirations and conform to what society expects of us and labels us. What we see is evident: murder is praised, drug and alcohol abuse is praised, disrespecting the dead is praised, being sexually immoral is praised, and being deceitful, selfish, greedy, and materialistic is all praised. If people do not conform to these standards, they’re labeled “weird” and criticized simply for being misunderstood.

Why do we only gravitate toward what hurts us, both as individuals and as a collective? When does sincerity become a factor?

The decisions we’ve made and the experiences of our lives should not deter the youth from reaching their full potential. What we do and how we maneuver—it all impacts the youth. Why should the youth be subjected to what we refuse to overcome? Why should the youth have to pay for our decisions?

It stops with us the moment we decide it does.

This is where true growth and prosperity happen: after addressing what’s inside of us—the things that hinder us from reaching our fullest potential.

There’s something special about watching boxing bring energy, confidence, laughter, and LIFE into a room. 🥊❤️

Yesterday, Pivotal Point Empowering Project had the opportunity to work with a new senior center for the first time through our Wellness & Longevity Program, and the experience was incredible. Seeing everyone moving, smiling, throwing punches, and genuinely enjoying themselves reminded me why this work is so satisfying.

And we’re just getting started.

PPEP is still a young nonprofit, but the growth has been unbelievable. Our summer is packed with programs, new partnerships, organizations, contracts, and opportunities to serve our communities. I’m extremely grateful for everyone behind Pivotal Point Empowering Project and Gorilla Squad Boxing Academy who continues to believe in this vision and put the work in.

And when the grant funding starts matching the work we’re already doing… WATCH OUT. 😂🥊

We’re coming to your schools.
Your senior centers.
Your churches.
Your hospitals.
Your community.

Front yard, backyard—we’re coming. 😂

The mission is bigger than boxing. We’re building something that can reach people at every stage of life.

PPEP is moving. And we’re only getting started. 🥊🦍❤️

Overcomers Pathway Program is a violence intervention initiative launched by Pivotal Point Empowering Project, a nonprofit organization created to serve the community through social emotional learning, physical wellness, and community outreach.
P.P.E.P. has partnered with New Brunswick’s summer program to pour into the youth and provide new outlets and solutions to the various issues that society faces. By giving the youth the tools to endure the day to day struggles, they are more likely to succeed and respond to situations in a healthy manner.
The more we pour into the community, the better results we get as a collective.

At the AMARD&V program in New Brunswick, NJ, PPEP has partnered with RWJ as well as AMARD&V for the sake of the youth. Three subjects were highlighted here.
1. Identity - Being secure within our self and living within our own authenticity prevents the desire to be socially accepted and thus, accepting labels placed upon us by society that degrade us and lead us into failure.
2. Emotional Regulation - Using boxing as a tool, social emotional learning is of high value. Being able to understand one’s emotions and respond to our emotions in a healthy way is importsnt for the way we conduct ourselves in our personal life and in society.
3. Accountability - Realizing that we have the power of free will and free choice despite limited options, circumstances, and environment. We have the final say as how to live our life.
It has been a pleasure and I am grateful to be able to work with the youth. Through this line of work, I encounter so many great people. It is more of a humbling experience for me time after time.
Pouring into the youth is necessary to prevent avoidable tragedies and to contribute to a healthy, strong and successful generation 🫂🥊.
Teaching the youth is highly important; and using boxing as a tool to teach and pour into the youth is specific to Pivotal Point Empowering Project.

Each of us has been born with a unique gift. One of mine has always been the ability and desire to fight. That does not mean living in chaos or seeking animosity with people. It means having the courage to take a stand—whether it is against oppression, a challenge, a competition, or even myself. Since I was a child, I have been this way, and it has played a major role in my development as a man.

Boxing has been the tool through which I can channel that desire. It has given me an outlet to express my unique abilities and gifts while also releasing the physical and mental stress that comes with the journey of life. Understanding the art and nature of boxing has taught me how to use my gifts in a healthy and disciplined way. Now, I want to teach what I have learned to others as a way to reach them, empower them, and help them.

Fighting has been a major part of my life—whether through boxing, the law, or the many challenges I have faced. Now it is time to fight for a greater cause: to fight for people to choose the right direction, to walk the path that leads to true and lasting success. This is a gracious gift and a blessing that I do not take for granted.

Full interview 🎬

My brother, Weedy 🫡💫🤞🏾.

In this interview, he dives into a deeper meaning behind many of the issues in life that we all face at some point or another. Weedy’s message is always strong, honest, and carries a truth that sometimes feels like he is talking directly to us. By hearing what he has to say, it could help contribute to all of our lives in a positive way.

There is a different level of gratitude that comes with being able to build with this brother because of our interactions with each other. Growing up with him, I have seen tremendous growth. I can always use his name as motivation for other people.

Weedy has a lot of experiences in life that have contributed to the man he is today. Experience teaches lessons that other forms of study simply cannot. Listen to this brother, and allow his message to help you grow. 🤲🏾💫
