Mobilizing More Momentum in Moving Forward Our Youth and Saving Our Future
|
Posted By: Prudee Young on December 21, 2007 An ethnic empowerment enterprise, UniTee Design (UDI) is on a mission: to rebuild black unity in our schools and communities primarily through the development, support and funding of more effective educational opportunities for today’s youth and tomorrow’s leaders. As 2008 approaches, we’ve been working hard to complete and introduce two new and important youth initiatives: · Developed in cooperation with The Detroit Threat Management Center, this self-defense and public safety awareness program helps school-aged children feel more comfortable in their communities, teaches them how to stay safer on the streets, and fosters self-discipline and respect. · Recently featured on blacknews.com, The Model Student fashion career development program is the product of a joint collaboration with the Abandoned In Detroit team, and introduces the world of fashion to schools via instructional photography, videography, fashion design, modeling and hair and make-up styling. The program is also structured to improve overall academic performance levels. Your support of UniTee Design apparel and accessories helps fund these and other important initiatives such as Public Art Workz, a summer program that teaches creative arts and merchandising to inner-city youth. UDI products are available at Spectacles in Detroit, Phat Gear in Atlanta, and Eastern Michigan University’s bookstore. Several joint ventures are in the works with The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the Detroit HBCU Network, and other partners in purpose. This year, we will introduce new apparel designs and expand our product line to include sweatshirts, sports jerseys, baseball caps, etc., as well as produce and participate in unique live events such as Detroit Fashion Week 2008. UDI is expanding its existing operations in Detroit and New York to Atlanta in January 2008, where we are already planning our next photo shoot in July. Every day, more “Purpose Providers” such as distributors, retailers, educators, promoters, sponsors, customers, and media partners, are helping to fulfill the promise of brighter futures and a vision of a better world. Purpose Providers can also make money while serving the communities in which they live. Visit our website if you’d like more information about this program. Please join us in building purpose, pride and power in our community of children. Be a mentor, a volunteer, an educator, a leader, and a positive role model, so that others may grow to be the same. We encourage you to check out www.uniteedesign.com to learn more about our products and programs. Wear the PRIDE and POWER of Black Unity. Give PURPOSE to our youth. R. Lee Gordon President UniTee Design, Inc. rgordon@uniteedesign.com www.uniteedesign.com P.S. Please help us expand our database to attract more potential Purpose Providers and to keep our community of friends updated as to new programs, events, products and successes! You can do this by giving us your email address and those of others. And since I hate spam as much as you do, UDI will only send you an email, at most, twice monthly. If you would like to be removed from the UDI mailing list, just let me know. Thanks. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
