Why Did We Start BSFP?

I grew up in a culture that lived by the "community raises up the young people." We didn't have so much exposure to technology and social media wasn't the mainstream (good, bad and indifferent). We were focused on school, good grades and making a better tomorrow. We also didn't have as many distractions as exist today that leave our youth bewildered and feeling out of place and unmotivated.

Today, if youth don't look a certain way, come from a certain economic status, have a certain style about them, they don't fit in. The desire to seek higher education is of less importance to youth today and school systems are losing the ability to keep them motivated and inspired. It’s hard to compete with what the world is offering as "immediate" but temporary gratification. 

Youth, today, are not as driven as they can be, they are unfulfilled, distracted, unmotivated and uninspired. They are being influenced by standards that:

·       Don't reflect who they truly are,
·       Don't provide direction for their success tomorrow
·       Leave them disengaged
·       Don't create an opportunity for them to think big beyond today.

This shouldn't be the outlook of anyone's future. I wanted to influence and help change this perception and reignite purpose in our youth, reestablish the drive that inspires them to want and strive for more and rebuild our communities. 

We don't take away from any other organizations or programs that are already part of the movement to work with youth, collectively or with girls or with boys. We partner with organizations to expand our reach and efforts to reach as many youth as possible and provide them with an array of resources that will help meet this mission "create generations of successful leaders of tomorrow."

Brothers & Sisters’ of Faith with Purpose (BSFP) is an Incorporated 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was established to help reignite drive for success and enthusiasm to learn. 


There is always room to do more.

I decided to wear my hair the way it grows… (Porosity Maintenance)

Image
Now, I know my hair's porosity and density levels. How am I supposed to care for it? Although it is important to know your hair type, the journey is really centered on the actual health conditions of your hair. If your hair isn’t healthy it really doesn’t matter what hair type you have.  The journey to wearing your hair the way it grows is not an easy one. Knowing the porosity of your hair can make the journey that much easier for you. I did the hair porosity test; how do I care for my porosity type? Low porosity: This hair repels moisture when you try to wet it and hard to penetrate through. Tip: This hair is prone to build-up from protein-rich deep conditioning products, which can leave it feeling stiff and straw-like. Stick to protein-free, daily conditioners with humectants such as glycerin or honey. Use moderate heat with protein-free deep conditioning treatments to help open up the tightly bound cuticle. This hair requires moisturizers ric...

This Thing with Superfoods

Image
I keep reading that Superfoods are great for your body. Are they really?  Well, they are all natural and filled with many nutrients that our bodies crave but don’t receive. They in fact are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of goodness, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It turns out eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are healthier and thinner than those who don't. So, they really are great for the body. As good as they are for us:  be wise and eat them in moderation.  Some top superfood add ins I found to be great adds to my smoothies: Chia Seeds These do-it-all super-seeds are good for your head with their high content of omega fatty acids that increase healthy brain function, but have also proven to be good for your heart by fighting high cholesterol and heart disease. They even boast a wide variety of nutrients, such as: protein, fiber, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, c...
