A big thank you to Focus: HOPE and their Director of Early Learning and Youth Development, my good brother, W. R. Hayes , for the recent honor and award. It was truly a memorable moment at the annual Fatherhood Conference where I had the privilege to emcee and was scheduled moderate a panel of dynamic community leaders. During the event, we were inspired by powerful messages from Dr. Sabrina Jackson and Jacob Brown 🔥 . As we geared up for the panel discussion, Hayes surprised us all with honors for our dedication to serving the community, including myself. His commitment to fostering growth in others is truly commendable. Together Jordan Ervin, M.Ed , Keith Hollowell II, and Hayes, we embarked on this journey over 20 years ago, and our passion for community service remains unwavering. #thedrawingboard #thejourneymatters #inspire #motivate #transform #feedyourfaith #starveyourdoubts #livewhatyoubelieve

These will go to Focus: HOPE’s Job Training students as they prepare to enter the job market and take interviews. Focus: HOPE is a Detroit-based organization that provides an intergenerational and holistic mix of services to help disrupt the effects of racism, poverty, and other forms of social injustice. #FocusHOPE #ClothingDrive #CommunityOutreach #GaranGives
