For Adults
Rearing the Village that rears the Child
Creating the proper support structure for the growth and development of you and your offspring
Our leaders of the recent past like Marcus Garvey, Ida B. Wells, and W.E.B Dubois have been replaced with destructive models of conduct. No longer is the notion of “It takes a village to raise a child” a common continued and promoted value. Our villages/communities have been infiltrated and poisoned and we are now faced with the reality of television, entertainers and toxic entertainment replacing the once honored voices of our elders. So, how do we regain our village?
Subjects covered:
- Understanding the components that make up a true village
- What is the Nucleus of a village
- What can you do to cultivate a village mentality in your community
- How to motivate others to assist in the work
- The responsibility of the Elders
