“Every male child is a king in his own right. We teach our children they are loved and important. This event is a resource to honor and propel their greatness.”

This event celebrates the milestone 16th birthday for black male teenagers. It marks the transition of a boy to a young man. This event also prepares him for manhood by the men he respects. Through his family, friends, and community, it acknowledges everything he has become and what he shall be.

THE WHY

  • CELEBRATE HIS EXISTENCE

  • ACKNOWLEDGE HIS PERSONAL GREATNESS

  • BUILD HIS SELF ESTEEM

Black men are the most marginalized and least celebrated group of humans.  Black men are regal beings at birth.  Their superiority deserves to be celebrated instead of treated like a threat.  

Unfortunately, the negative persona begins early in the American school system, the media and even sometimes at home.  If not loved, nurtured and supported, the male child will begin to equate his worth with how he is treated.  It's up to the community to change the trajectory of their lived experience.
