The long, deliberate work of mentoring a young man — real talk, accountability, and the skills school skips. Mentorship comes with The Membership: was $300 $125 every 4 weeks with a scholarship ($300 without one). Join the Mothers Circle (free or paid) to apply for your son to join our private mentorship.
Who we are
Too much mentorship for young Black men shows up for six weeks, takes a photo, and leaves. The young man learns the thing he already suspected — that people arrive and then they go.
We walk alongside young men from thirteen into adulthood. Not a program he graduates from. A group of people who are still there when he is nineteen and deciding about school, and again at twenty-three when it is about work, money, and the man he is becoming.
The transformation
Not a mood that lasts a couple of weeks. Four things that hold.
Not a volunteer who rotates out. Mentors who know his name, his goals, and what he said last month — and who hold him to it.
A brotherhood of young men in the same season — one he can reach between sessions, in a private, moderated space.
Academics, money, college, career. The concrete version — what to do and in what order — not a speech about potential.
The skill that decides how the next ten years go. Steady under pressure, honest about what is going on, able to lead himself before he leads anyone else.
How we do it
None of the four things above come from a single conversation. They come from a rhythm he cannot drift out of.
From his first Monday, the expectations are named out loud and agreed to. Nobody walks in cold, and nothing is assumed.
Every Monday, without exception. Change in a young man does not come from one powerful conversation; it comes from the same room, the same men, and the same questions asked often enough that he starts asking them himself.
Every week the mothers meet live with Emiere, and you hear what the young men have been working through — so what you see at home has context. You are not guessing, and you are not on the outside of his growth.
From time to time, local families meet in person in Atlanta. It is optional, never required — the online rhythm gives plenty on its own — but for families nearby, standing in the same room makes it more real.
Too many programs run six weeks and leave. This one is built to still be here when he is nineteen, and again at twenty-three. The repetition is the method.
When we meet
All times Eastern.
Every Monday · 7:00 – 8:00 PM ET
Every Monday, 7–8 PM ET, live in the community. We look back at the week — what each young man committed to and how it went — work through that week's lesson, then open the floor: a space to be himself with brothers who get it. Sessions aren't shared afterward, because what's said in the room stays there — so being there live matters.
Every week · Live online
For mothers in the paid Mothers Circle and The Membership. What came up this week, what is working, and the thing you are stuck on — a space to ask Emiere your questions and support each other. It's also where you hear what the young men have been working through.
From time to time · Optional
For local families in the paid Mothers Circle and The Membership — optional, never required. The online rhythm gives plenty on its own; for families nearby, it's a chance to be in the same room.
Monday is his. The weekly Mothers Circle session is yours — come when you can — and Atlanta, if you're local and want it.
The Membership
“I didn't build a curriculum. I built the room I needed at fourteen — older men who told the truth, a brotherhood that wouldn't let me disappear, and a mother who finally had backup. That's the whole thing.”
