NEWCC Equitable Internet Initiative
The Yunion is dedicated to providing you with community resources in line with our goals of Loving Youth and Uniting Families. We are excited to share information with you about FREE high-speed internet coming to the North End through the NEWCC Equitable Internet Initiative (EII)! OUR PARTICIPANTS MUST LIVE IN THE 48202 or 48211 zip code!
The main goals of EII are to increase Internet access through the development of community wireless networks, train residents in neighborhoods with the skills necessary to build these networks and bring their communities online. Once the networks are built, we will teach youth to build applications that can live on the intranet of these networks. We hope these applications offer a safe space for neighbors to communicate, collaborate, generate problem-solving, and inspire ideas for the future.
There are two programs within the Equitable Internet Initiative.
1) Digital Stewards Training. This program will train neighborhood leaders in the technical and community organizing skills necessary to redistribute Gigabit Internet connections to homes with low or no previous Internet connections.
2) Next Gen App Development. This program will train high school and middle school youth in web development skills for the Gigabit environment.
Upon completion of an initial training, participants will be eligible to apply for apprenticeships under both programs.
Get Involved by FIRST completing this SURVEY and then consider…
- Applying to be a Digital Steward.
- Hosting a router on your roof to spread the Internet in your neighborhood.
- Sitting on a neighborhood advisory board about digital access in your neighborhood…

I Had A Blessed Time
I’m always humbled when someone asks me to sign my book, but when this brother shared with me how #CryLikeAMan impacted his life, then showed me all the highlighted pages—I was deeply moved!

When a boy learns how to rule his negative emotions, he will be able to access his positive ones—responding to a challenge rather than reacting to one.
DETRIOT BOYS DINE LIKE KINGS!
It’s said that “good manners will open doors that the best education cannot.”
A man who has to walk on egg shells to keep peace, will eventually become so skilled at it.
Dancing to the beat of everyone else’s drum may please them, but trust me, it will bring weariness to your soul.
BREAK FREE BE THE FATHER YOU DIDN’T SEE!
I share how I put in the introspective work needed to heal my “father-wound” and save my family. As a result, I became the father I longed to have—breaking my family free from the generational trauma that tormented me.
We are getting close to our goal—this is so possible!

BECOMING A MAN THROUGH ADVERSITY
“Before I was afflicted I went astray but now I keep your word.” — Psalm 119:67
I believe in hard work but I don’t know if this new approach is working.
Don’t get me wrong—I believe in hard work but I don’t know if this new approach is working. It seems to stress our children more than build them.
Make sure you’re good enough- for yourself.
The key to finding real love is to first look in the mirror.
SELF LOVE
The key to finding real love is to first look in the mirror.
It’s no wonder, growing up, I would always ponder: how many women does it take to please one man?
My father would always tout he was the head of the house but was rarely at home. His promiscuous ways gave me a subliminal education and taught me that being faithful to one woman was a sign of weakness and debatable masculinity.
MEN IT’S OKAY TO CRY
Thank you Taraji P. Henson and Charlamagne using your platform to help shatter misconstrued masculinity, so that men can finally heal and become whole!
ADDRESSING A.D.H.D. WITHOUT MEDICATION!
Just because a boy lacks focus and is hyper—doesn’t mean he has ADHD. Please consider helping us teach more boys how to release trauma before they are misdiagnosed with ADHD.
