Description

We are so excited to be partnering with Inner City Innovators Lady Hope Dealers for a monthly community gathering experience. Join us for a night of human connection with Inner City Innovators Lady Hope Dealers as we dive into readings by Cleo Wade and create art together! About Inner City Innovators: Inner City Innovators started out as a movement of individuals who grew up in the hood, still lived in the hood, and grew tired of the conditions plaguing their hood. After experiencing one of the deadliest summers on record for West Palm Beach, Ricky Aiken and Terryon Chapman began organizing their peers and stepping up to the plate in order to advocate for their community. After losing a dear friend and mentee in Johnny Davis that very year, we realized advocacy wouldn’t be enough. Johnny’s death was the seed planted to birth our focus on mentoring, community engagement, anti-violence workshops, and various other initiatives aimed at breaking the cycles of violence which have plagued our communities for far too long. Our goal is to plant a self-sustaining Hope Dealer® Clique in every major community of concentrated violence in America. We believe the same difference we’re made in our community can be made by like-minded individuals in theirs. We believe that our Hope Dealer™ Mentoring Cliques are the key to eradicating youth delinquency and gun violence in communities like ours. What are Hope Dealer® Cliques? Hope Dealer Cliques are young people from the target communities who are focused on embodying the changes so desperately needed in their communities. These Cliques meet on a weekly basis for mentoring, leadership development, and community service. It is our conviction that real change happens when those who need it lead. No one has more incentive to eradicate youth delinquency and gun violence more than the people who call these communities home. Our youth are going to gravitate towards cliques and gangs for a sense of belonging, why not give them something great to belong to. See you soon Revolutionary Readers!
