Reaching America's Youth
OUR MISSION
Defy cancerous cycles of hate & heartache among American youth.
Evolve personally, as the staff, family and faces of Generation X Group - learning & growing in our own journeys as we carryout its message.
Drive the next generation into a future they can face with confidence, competence and class.
Restore poorly built relationships with self, family, teachers, peers and the justice system.
Provide quality adolescent resources; scholastic, occupational, behavioral, health & wellness. Fundamental counseling and mentorship programs, addressing self-afflictions, social and legal misconduct.
Unfortunately most of today's 'experts' professing to have
been 'about that life' couldn't demonstrate a damn thing about the hood. They're degreed, overheard hearsay, visit the community (lol) or worse, got it from T.V. And it's major upsetting because these aren't their children - they're ours. They're my four babies, your two nieces, his nephew, her son. The argument, however, is not against academics. I value the power of education, having unlocked my own scholastic limitations through school. But being in the belly of a beast is not taught in text books, I promise you that.
So why am I qualified? You must know how much I love giving my testimony! 20+ years ago I found myself sitting in a court room, staring at my courageous momma, knowing that the judge was about to carry out the life-term I sentenced myself to.
I had Heart though homie - didn't even cry - that day.
But believe me, the heart flat-lines after death.
'CHING CHING, CLANK' - you get use to that distinctly loud
bar-banging 'you're just a number' noise, so it didn't matter that
the guard threw in this random set of papers from my attorney
eight years in. I just sat em' to the side, like whateva' man.
Months later, my cellie's urging me to take a look in the
envelope ... my freedom was inside.

And since then? Well now, let's see...
I got on board with V.G. Guinness and the SEY YES program for about 10 years doing Crisis Intervention field work. Became a gang liaison to L.A.P.D., a gang expert for the Los Angeles Municipal Courts, a crisis counselor for the L.A. County Probation Dept. I've worked with over 200 L.A.U.S.D. schools, educating them on gang awareness, prevention, intervention, and planning 'Safe Passage' to & from school.
And then on to the Masters Plan: Generation X Group.
Man, I've had to keep my armor on day & night for this one. Even without funding, things had to get done. In fact, especially without. Without a dime, without a group, without a plan -
all I really needed was Hope.
Hope that rebuilding Westside Park would inspire, repainting local businesses would beautify, putting a team of gang leaders together for 'Death Prevention' might actually prevent deaths. I became a regional intervention spokesperson, a re-entry to society supporter, and met one of many hitlist goals, establishing a space for youth and their village of family & friends caught in the American machine's helpless cycle.

To strengthen our high-risk youth;
empowering them with tools that build self-worth, promote responsible lifestyles and ensure purposeful living. More than mentoring, scholastic provisions, and vocational support -
we have accepted a challenge to
feed the spirit.
We envision landmark changes in urban communities, a downturn in gang violence, abstinence education, and an enriched sense of aptitude, fortitude and character.
Our Vision? To profoundly raise the bar, as we reach out and hold tightly America's Youth.

Plans For Summer? Join Your Buddies At GXG's Daily Youth Center.
Most inner-city youth have yet to experience any culture outside of their communities. Education's more than text books and exams, but experiences that find homes in the depth of their memories. The more a youth knows, the more choices he/she can make in life. Removing a youth's limits by exposing them to a world outside of the one they know will essentially give them more choices. The more our children know, the more they grow!
