Double the Black excellence brilliance!
The Atlanta Great Debaters won the Harvard debate championship for the third consecutive year, competing virtually against students globally.
11 Alive reports the entire team’s commendable performance, with Madison Webb and Christian Flournoy notably securing the victory as individuals.
Madison Webb is the first Black female student and Christian Flournoy is the youngest Black male student to win the competition.
Harvard Diversity Project selects talented Black youth from Metro Atlanta, introducing them to academic debate for the first time.
As we expand the A.C.T. Program (Actions Change Traditions) into Orlando, Florida, I need everyone to understand something very important:
THIS ISNT JUST A PROGRAM. This is a system I created because me, my friends, and thousands of kids like us never had anything like this growing up.
I BUILT THE A.C.T PROGRAM FROM THE REALITY OF MY LIFE…..
from group homes, juvenile placements, detention centers, and the countless systems across the country .
While growing up,
🟣WE DIDNT HAVE MENTORS….watching our behavior in real time.
🟣WE DIDNT HAVE ADULTS… building a village around us.
🟣WE DIDNT HAVE 25+ TRAINED STAFF… standing in the gap.
🟣WE DIDNT HAVE AN APP that documented our growth, our trauma, our goals, and our progress.
🟣WE DIDNT HAVE SAFE PLACES to fall, learn, and get back up.
➡️ SO I CREATED the system WE NEVER HAD.
A SYSTEM that changes traditions instead of passing down trauma.
A SYSTEM that teaches, guides, documents, protects, and walks with the youth.
A SYSTEM where parents, mentors, teachers, case managers, business owners, and entire communities unite around each child.
When people ask me “Why did you build this?”
The answer is simple:
💜Because nobody built it for us.
💜 Because too many kids are falling through cracks they never created.
💜 Because every city spends hundreds of thousands of dollars per youth yearly on detention , but is spending only approximately $15,000 yearly per youth on PREVENTION
💜 Because the only way to fix juvenile crime is to reach kids BEFORE the bad decisions hit.
💜 Because my story taught me exactly what the system is missing — and I designed the opposite.
The A.C.T. Program is now officially expanding into Orlando with certified clinicians, trained mentors, educators, behavioral specialists, a full staffing roster, 24/7 mobile support, a youth distribution hub, cosmetology partnerships, and our A.C.T. App that tracks every child’s journey.
We are legally operating as a nonprofit organization, and Orlando will be the next city where we build a real village — something powerful, something long overdue, and something that has literally saved lives.
If you’re in Orlando and you believe in mentorship, structure, and giving youth a real chance, tap in.
We are here. We are official. And we are ready.
