About King of Kings Foundation: The King of Kings Foundation was established to inform individuals of the generative crime factors in their communities. The organizations objective is to equip communities with the tools needed to identify and avoid issues that hinder social, physical, economic, cultural and spiritual development.

Our mission is to enlighten youth and adolescents to the consequences and dangers of guns, gangs and drugs. We redirect them to majestic heights by helping them to avoid poverty, homelessness and incarceration by way of achieving education.

The King of Kings Foundations goals are to change the perception of individual by educating them in an effort to eliminate violent and destructive behavior and manifest lasting positive changes while helping to build stronger, closer and safer communities.

The Beliefs of King of Kings Foundation: The spread of gangs in urban areas demands a response from state to local governments. More importantly, a response to this problem must come from the members of the communities where gangs thrive. Individuals have the right to live in a safe, secure, friendly and supportive environment free from discrimination, harassment, gangs and other unhealthy social factors that can hinder the pursuit of educational goals for youth and the overall safety for residents of the community.

The King of Kings Foundation believes that through our workshops and our community events we continuously bridge the gap of communication between our "Youth", "Adults" and our "Seniors" helping to strengthen community ties and relationships.

Mother and Teen Son Launch Movement to Help Black Families

The Family Brand Movement, started by Lavette Minn, an inspiring mother alongside her 15-year old son, Yungche Homme, aims to create stronger and productive family bonds in people. Together, the two are focused on encouraging other families to do the same and build unique and productive family brands. These bonds created among the families can not only make them successful but can also bring financial freedom in their lives. The Family Brand Movement has also announced the release of its latest publication, Family Brand: 9 Principles and Tips to Building Family & Business, a book co-authored by both co-founders to inspire families worldwide.

“My son and I have founded this movement with a primary aim of coaching families who have children, to obtain personal financial success by building generational wealth with family brands,” said Lavette, the mother of Yungche and his 2 other siblings. “Family Brand is a book that both of us wrote and it shares 9 principles and tips to building a family and a family business,” she added. According to Lavette, the book will inspire people to build great legacies of their families that will last forever.

This inspiring movement has been designed to encourage families to build family bonds that potentially lead to building family brands and businesses. Nobody can have a better business partnership than two family members and this is the reason why an overwhelming percentage of businesses worldwide are family owned and operated. The Family Brand book is therefore going to be an inspiring mission of this mother-son team and the book is currently available in stock on the website of the movement. The Family Brand Movement has been launched as a perfect way to counter the rising rate of poverty, especially among the children in the United States and elsewhere.

The book covers nine core principles that mainly cover:
* communications
* transparency
* finances
* investment
* money attitudes
* building a vision

In addition to this amazing book, both co-founders also educate families by providing them personal coaching based on their own situations in order to help them.

Families will learn about:
* DIY Credit Repair Coaching
* Income shifting: bringing more money home each payday
* Business master planning and creating multiple streams of income

Moreover, both Lavette and Yungche are very responsive when it comes to giving advice and helping people who reach them online. The website they have created for the movement also features informative news, updates and videos to help families and everyone who tries to reach them.

Lavette and Yungche started this inspiring journey when their ‘So Gone Challenge’ video went viral on Facebook last year and the response they received was overwhelming as it received more than 3 million views. So far, they have been endorsed for several great accomplishments that include writing two books and a song titled “HELLO” which is part of their family brand and legacy. Their website features several inspiring testimonials in which people have shared their inspiring stories during interaction with Lavette and Yungche. However, despite all the success and recognition, both co-founders firmly believe that they have a long way to go and this is just a beginning.

15-Year Old Black Teen Entrepreneur Signs Licensing Deal With the NBA

Young entrepreneur Moziah “Mo” Bridges was just 12 years old when he appeared on ABC's Shark Tank to promote his Memphis based company, Mo’s Bows, which manufactures handmade bow and neckties. Now 15, this young Black teen just signed a licensing deal with the NBA, giving him the rights to manufacture his products with the logos of NBA clubs.

The NBA is excited about the launch of the Mo’s Bows NBA Collection because it increases their merchandise distribution to NBA fans. For Bridges, it means a seven-figure licensing deal and an important step in expanding his business. Mo comments, “Partnerships like this one will help me reach my goals of having a full clothing line by the time I graduate from college."

Impressive from the start

When Bridges and his mother appeared on Shark Tank in 2014, shark Daymond John immediately invested into Mo’s business. John saw in Bridges "a young man with a great vision and a mother with a strong business sense."

His instincts were right. Sales of Mo’s Bows at retailers like Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales went through the roof. Bridges was named to TIME Magazine’s Most Influential Teen List in 2015. He was even invited to the White House by former President Barack Obama, and ESPN hired Bridges as a fashion correspondent for their NBA Draft telecast.

This was quite an impressive start for Moziah Bridges. But he is far from done. In fact, he is just getting started! “My goal has always been to make Mo’s Bows a household name for kid entrepreneurship and men's accessories,” explains Bridges.

Already in motion

Mo Bridges has come a long way, but it is very clear that he also has plans to go much, much farther. And he is not wasting time! He is already producing and selling his NBA bowties for the Memphis Grizzlies, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Golden State Warriors. (Source BlackPR.com)

Child Prodigies Graduate From High School And College

Young Genius Brothers, 11 and 14 Years Old, Graduate from High School and College.

Two genius brothers from Texas, Carson and Cannan Huey-You, have simultaneously graduated from high school and college. Carson, who is just 14 years old, just graduated from Texas Christian University with a degree in physics. He was the youngest graduate in the school's history.

Cannan, who is just 11 years old, just graduated from high school and will start studying at TCU in the fall - majoring in astrophysics and engineering. The two are not just brothers, but also best friends and study partners.

Just normal?

Their mom, Claretta Kimp, told the Washington Post: "They are just normal little boys who do normal little boy things."

But these boys are far from normal; They are in fact brilliant child prodigies! At such young ages, they have accomplished a lot academically, and their goals are far different from what most kids their age are thinking about.

"Yes, they're smart," their mom said, "but that's just a small part of who they are."

Early signs of genius

Their mom says that things really hit her when Carson was just 3-years old, and told her outright: "I really want to learn calculus." She says that she went out and bought him a calculus book, and he was able to solve the problems.

Not without challenges

Being so smart at such a young age, however, doesn't come without challenges, and in fact, Carson faced quite a few challenges that his classmates didn't. For example, the online forms for federal financial assistance don't include his age in the drop-down menu. This means that he really didn't qualify for financial aid.

In addition, as a child, he wasn't able to just walk around on campus by himself. He needed a chaperone on campus, and so his mom had to drive him to school every day and walk him to and from all his classes.

Cannan also had his set of challenges. At age 5, he started out in Kindergarten just like any other kid, but by 2nd grade, he got bored and asked to be homeschooled. Then, his mom saw the "light bulb moment" for the second time. She realized she had two geniuses on her hand.

So, Cannan was soon enrolled in the same private high school that Carson attended. But again because of his age, he needed to be protected and supervised differently, so he was allowed to mostly work remotely from the TCU campus alongside his brother.

So, what's next?

The sky is the limit, and only time will tell where these two young geniuses will end up. Carson says he wants to get a PhD, and Cannan is already planning to be an astronaut.

But their story is so extraordinary, both may be the subjects of their very own movie one day! (Source BlackPR.com)
