The main focus of this campaign is to give momentum to an entrepreneurial push regarding young black youth (primarily middle schoolers, up to college age students). The idea is to cut off the dysfunction younger black generations are suffering from due to miseducation and being uninformed about foundational issues dealing with financial well-being, emotional well-being, and historical contexts as it relates to African Americans. But instead of pushing theoretical business principals, a very modern curriculum has been fashioned based on street knowledge, current slang terminology, media learning (via YouTube), Hip Hop culture, and real-time problem-solving tactics.
