At TakeCharge, one of our top priorities has been to change the expectations of marriage in the black community. In the 1960’s the Federal Government financially incentivized women to have children outside of marriage, which had a detrimental effect on the black family; Marriage rates fell from 80 percent two-parent households to 80 percent fatherless homes. The black community has not seen a single national initiative to reverse this trend - until now…We are changing expectations of marriage in the black community. Last month, we shared a short video of women who volunteer as TakeCharge Ambassadors encouraging women about marriage. In our latest production, you’ll hear directly from men who volunteer as TakeCharge Ambassadors about the importance of marriage, the positive outcome that a two parent home has on children, and how marriage helps men graduate into manhood. Your support continues to help in a meaningful way – thank you! TakeChargeMN.com

To learn more about the Fatherhood Impact Award and enroll your church, please visit our website https://takechargefatherhoodaward.com The fatherless home problem is pronounced in the black community, but it is a growing problem in all ethnic groups in the US. According to Pew Research Center, “At 23%, the US has the highest percentage of children that live without a father in the world” - 3x the worldwide average. Children who grow up without a father in the home are more likely to experience poverty, mental health issues, and negative outcomes in education and employment. The Fatherhood Impact Award recognizes fathers who embody the principles found in “The Man Code” by Mark Henry. This award is a resource for Pastors, Priests, and Religious leaders to utilize to address a nationwide epidemic of fatherless homes. Winners will be recognized in front of their congregation on Fathers Day with a TakeCharge representative and the Senior Pastor awarding the certificates, monetary gift card, and copy of the book, The Man Code. In addition, TakeCharge will also honor the winners by taking out a half page ad in the local newspaper. We believe elevating these men will inspire young boys and young men to emulate their behavior and young women to desire the characteristics in men that receive the award.

Marriage within the Black Community is few and far between. We collectively don't have many examples of it. Marriage is not the end of a life, it's the beginning of a life with someone else. It's one of the most difficult things in manhood, which causes you to be a better man. It allows you to graduate into manhood. Learn More: TakeChargeMN.com

“I felt more like a political activist than a teacher in my own classroom,” Jennifer Tafuto, former teacher. School choice is incredibly important. Parents deserve to know what’s going on in their children’s schools and their curriculum. If a school or school district is not comfortable sharing this information, there’s a reason.

In a time when the country needs organizations to foster racial healing and unity, the NAACP #naacp uses decades old trauma and outright lies to foment fear and hatred for political gain and money. An excerpt from one of the recent emails to supporters says: "65 years after the signing of the Civil Rights Act, white supremacists are closer than ever to dragging our voting rights back to the 1950s." Rather than offering to the fatherless home crisis or promote school choice vouchers for parents, they perpetuate a worn out dialog about fellow Americans at the expense of the black community while deepening racial strife. TakeCharge supports the notion that the promise of America is available to everyone regardless of race or social station. We are dedicated to restore to restoring the two parent family in the black community as the norm, not the exception. Join the Movement: takechargemn.com

We are pleased to announce that I AM A VICTOR is now available to stream on SalemNow. https://bit.ly/3J1Fien "Black Americans have experienced a 50-year journey on two different roads: the path to Afrocentric, secular, political activism and the less-traveled path of faith, family and education taught by their parents and grandparents." #IAmAVictor

You can find more about I am a Victor and watch the film at IAmAVictor.com. “I Am A Victor", a TakeCharge documentary will be released July 22. TakeCharge is a non-profit organization committed to promoting the idea that the promise of America works, regardless of race or social standing. TakeCharge believes restoring the two-parent family should be a national priority within the black community. In the 55-minute film, black residents of Twin Cities share stories of their success that were driven by a “victor” mindset as opposed to the mindset of a victim. The documentary starts at the end of the civil rights era with the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and tracks the 50-year journey taken by black Americans since that iconic time. Some took an Afro-centric, secular and political activist journey and others took the path that was taught by their parents and grandparents rooted in the Christian faith. The schism in worldview among black people took root more than 50 years ago under the LBJ administration. As part of the Great Society, the federal government introduced social welfare programs that financially incentivized women to have children as long as they remained unmarried. Residuals of that program exist today. “We are purposely pushing for a shift in the narrative of popular culture and no longer accepting the idea of communities filled with fatherless homes as an acceptable norm.” said Kendall Qualls, president of TakeCharge. The message from I Am A Victor leaves the audience with a sense of hope for our country and hope for the future of the black community.

The "I Am A Victor" documentary debuted on July 22, 2022. Thanks to your amazing support, we continue to get national attention by challenging and reshaping the woke narrative from the progressive left. Stream today at iamavictor.com.
