This year, we are proud to celebrate our graduating seniors:
🎓 Keshawn Nowling
🎓 Jayshaun Robinson
🎓 Ayden Logan
These young kings have shown strength, growth, and leadership throughout their journey with Blue Heart—and now it’s time to send them off with love, celebration, and community as they reveal their next chapter. Whether it’s a 4-year university, a 2-year program, or straight into the workforce—they are ready. And so are we.

💫 What is Signing Day?
Every year, The Blue Heart Foundation honors our seniors as they graduate from high school and publicly announce their post-graduation path. It’s a tradition rooted in celebration, transformation, and Black excellence.
During the event, our seniors will share their chosen life course and reflect on how their time at Blue Heart has shaped them—taking the tools, lessons, and love they've received into the next stage of their journey.
From mentorship to manhood—we are proud to witness the next steps.

💪🏽Today’s Career & College Prep Workshop was on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥l!
Our very own Youth Coach, Dr. James Crawford, led a powerful session featuring First Fifty—a dynamic crew of Black professionals who are all about educating the community on Public Safety and showing up for the next generation.
🙏🏽 We were honored to hear from:
• Zach Brewster, President of First Fifty
• Andrew Strong, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for Public Safety at the County
• Loan Shillinger, Attorney & President of the Earl B. Gilliam Bar Association
• Garrett Frank, Federal Agent
• Judge Michael Washington
• Roosevelt Williams III, Entrepreneur & President of Young Black & In Business (YB&B)
💙 Each speaker came through with real stories, real advice, and a whole lot of wisdom—dropping gems on how they got where they are, the why behind what they do, and what it really takes to walk in purpose.💎💎
They kept it 💯 on what to do (and what not to do), encouraged our young kings to look within, and reminded them that their greatness is already inside—they just have to activate it.
👂And listen… Roosevelt Williams CLOSED it out with straight fire.🔥
He broke down what it means to F.O.C.U.$ on L.I.F.E. & Financial P.O.W.E.R.💪🏽
🎉Major shoutout to Jessica from Corner Bakery who came through with lunch combos for the crew—those chicken, ham, and turkey sandwiches hit the spot!😋
And finally—huge love and respect to Zach Brewster for founding First Fifty and bringing this incredible group of leaders to Blue Heart. This is what community looks like.👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

This past STEM Saturday was next level!💙
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
✊🏽 Much love to our partners at Black Tech Link, led by the powerhouse Elizabeth Cotton-Harps, for coming through with the tools and knowledge to light up our boys’ minds.
💪🏽With support from Qualcomm, the team guided our young kings through building mini computer systems from scratch using Raspberry Pi kits—and let’s just say, they understood the assignment.
⭐️This wasn’t just about plugging in wires. It was about problem-solving, critical thinking, and planting seeds in the next generation of Black innovators.
This is what tech empowerment looks like. This is how we’re Building Kings.👑👑
🔥And we’ve gotta show love to our new Visual Storyteller, Rashad Autman—a rising star behind the lens who’s already capturing the essence, energy, and excellence of Blue Heart.🎉
⭐️His eye is sharp, his vibe is on point, and his work speaks volumes. We’re proud to have him on the team as he helps bring our story to life—frame by frame.
✊🏽Stay tuned… you haven’t seen his work with us yet—we’re saving the best for last.💪🏽

NEW BLOG SERIES: Rebuilding Us 🖤
At Blue Heart, we believe strong communities begin with strong families.
And the truth is—we’ve carried a lot of pain in silence.
We’ve been divided by history, systems, trauma, and survival.
But we weren’t always this way.
There was a time we built together.
Loved each other deeply.
Stood in balance—not battle.
That’s why we’re launching a new blog series called “Rebuilding Us.”
It’s dedicated to restoring what was never meant to be broken—the bond between the Black man, the Black woman, and the family they create.
🖤 Our first post just dropped:
“The Truth About the Black Family Before Slavery: How Kemet Shows Us the Way Back”
This isn’t about romanticizing the past.
It’s about healing forward.
One truth at a time.

What do YOU believe will help rebuild the Black family?
