National Urban League Conference Youth Outreach was lead by Actors Brian White, Lamman Rucker, Mass. Gov.

I just read that Brian White, Lamman Rucker, and the Massachusetts Government put together a summit to reach out to our youth. This is what we need more of, people that are willing to devote time to speak to the youth about making changes. 

“A truly successful person can build a solid foundation by the bricks that other people throw at you. How you do that is by education,” White said. White is an individual who constantly devotes his time to reaching out to the youth. “Education will allow you to, like an architect, so see that goal and build your future. Everybody goes through hard times — everybody. It’s how you respond. That’s what matters. You can train yourself how to respond better.”

Rucker is a man that has gone though so much that he wanted to speak to people that maybe has or is going thought the same thing.“I’ve lost a lot of people that I love to violence, to drug addiction, to alcoholism, to murder. My brother was murdered on the streets of D.C. And to be honest with you, I got sick and tired,” he said. “And instead of being sick and tired and saying the glass is half empty and allowing to happen [to me] what happened to everybody else, I made a conscious decision to say that my glass is half full. I started to believe that I was destined for great things. I’m tied to the greatness that came before me. And it was up to me to actualize my potential and manifest my destiny. If you buy into that, then you write your movie. And I’m writing my movie,”

Atlanta radio personality Frank Ski also spoke and said,“Faith is fear in reverse. Martin Luther King Jr. was 24 when he started the Civil Rights Movement.” Meaning that it doesn't matter how old you are if you want something better for your life at a younger age go out there and make it happen. Don't let anyone stop you because if you believe you will achieve.

Believe and Be Yourself

  Many of the youth today don't have any confidence in themselves, which is something we must change. I want all of my young people to know that you are beautiful no matter what you look like. When you have confidence in yourself people will want to know you and be friends with you. You don't have to act like the crowd to be liked. If you act like the crowd you will get played out fast. The people that are well known (popular) are the ones who have no problem with being themselves. If I'm not mistaken the main reason why the youth don't believe or try to be themselves is because they want to mimic or copy what they hear on TV and what they see celebrities do. But the thing you have to realize is that celebz are acting like themselves they don't change their style to act like anyone they all are themselves.
  My wish is that all the young people love themselves. Nothing can make you happy but you. If you don't believe in yourself others won't.
  Women don't try to run to a man to feel comfortable with yourself. You don't need anyone to tell you, you are beautiful tell yourself. If you depend on another person to feel loved then you are easier to get hurt, because you all in love after you hear the word Love. Love is an easy word to say but nit something easy to feel. Remember that Please.
   Men don't feel like you have to treat females a certain way to be considered cool by the guys. Believe in yourself and always take up for yourself. If you are known not to take stuff from people again you will be liked automatically.
   To serve in this world one must be able to believe, be, respect, and take up for themselves.
