Street Soldiers Radio is joined by guests Ashanti Branch, Johnathan Pugh Jr. and Wenceslao Soto with a discussion about men, masculinity and the emotional masks.

The Ever Forward Club was founded by Ashanti Branch in 2004 at San Lorenzo High School. While teaching mathematics, Branch observed the young men of color in his classes moving backward academically. After inviting a group of these students to have lunch with him once a week to teach him to be a better teacher, these young men began to reveal that being smart was perceived as being “uncool,” and that challenges in their personal life kept them from making school a priority. 

Branch decided to serve these young men as a mentor, and launched the first Ever Forward Club as a support program where at-risk young men could gather over lunch in a mentor-led safe environment, process emotions, and sustain each other through their struggles.

Street Soldiers Radio shared the stories of two Alive & Free Omegas- one from then, and one from now. Two of my favorite guys- USF professor Dr. Reginold Daniels and USF college student Aaron Meneses joined us to share their stories. Some get it right away and some get it sooner or later….and when they both got it! The message is simple. Never give up on yourself! The past doesn’t matter. It’s never to late to become the person you are meant to be.
