Powerful Role Models
There has never been a lack of positive male role models, only the lack of media coverage of them.
There are positive role models in all segments of society which are not shown in the media.
As men, it is our responsibility to be great role models.
It is important for us to be mentors and teachers that share our knowledge and wisdom.

Ron Elliott Jr. - Filmmaker
Ron Elliot Jr.
Ron is the writer and producer of the film, Die Willie Die, which was inspired by his desire to STOP the doctrine of Willie Lynch from applying today, for the sake of his children and all future generations of Americans of African Descent. The goal of the film is to help us identify the trauma that is limiting us and provide solutions for healing. Ron’s journey to heal his family starts with learning the process that created it. Loosely guided by the book The Willie Lynch Letter & The Making of a Slave, he examines the accuracy in the fictional work as it relates to his present reality as an American of African descent. What he finds is the disturbing fact that many descendants of American slaves suffer from Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, a condition that supports Willie Lynch’s theory of making slaves, enslave themselves.
