Real Talk from the Ground Up With Shawn and Lawrence

🎙️ Real Talk from the Ground Up
Shawn and Lawrence got real today — sitting right on the grass outside Social Services — to speak directly to the MEN in our community.

They talked about what it means to truly step up as fathers, to lead with love, and to raise our children with purpose. They spoke on the responsibility we have not just to our kids, but to respect and work with the mothers of our children, even when it's hard.

Shawn didn’t sugarcoat it — he said clearly:

“I’m a work in progress, but I’m moving intentionally, with purpose.”

💬 This wasn’t just a conversation... it was a call to ACTION.
Men — your presence matters. Your growth matters. Your leadership matters.

Let’s rise up and build the future our children deserve. 💪🏾👨‍👧‍👦
