(a paradigm for our community)

Also see the M.A.N.N.A. Outline Agenda in it's section to the right.
During the year 2016, the we-grow.net (website) endeavor has proferred to the black community in Chicago and abroad, three national organizations- W.A.V.Etc.- ( (black) Women Against Violence Etc.), and M.A.N.N.A., ( (black) Men Acclaiming New and Noble Aspirations) and The National Black Churches-Black Community Economic Intiative. These organizations were created to amass huge numbers of black men and women into separate, yet united entities supporting one another.
Black women united must be given a heightened voice and visibility in order to address and impact crime reduction in black communities and to explore the reality of becoming an economic arm and social force . Black women are the anchor of the household and have great influence over their offspring in many households. There are many single parent mothers in America’s black communities, many of whom who have no ties to churches or community organizations. Belonging to a national black women’s organization will give them the lift and support leveraging that is inherent with belonging to a national organizational triune e.g.,black churches-communities economic initiative, unified black women, and unified black men. The huge numbers of black men and women belonging to these organizations would be supporting mirrors for one another, in effect, a “ three way mirror”.
Black men who struggle emotionally and financially may not have answers that can rid them of a viewpoint that he may harbor of himself of not being able to overcome social factors that he perceives that minimizes his upward mobility. This man searches his soul all during the day for answers that will free him and add meaning to his life. The answer to his dilemma to find himself is not rooted only in materialism. For him to add to his self worth and stature can be found in his relationship to our CREATOR and within the triune of united black churches-black communities, and united black men and women.
The black man who is successful is challenged to reach back and assist his people and support the communities that are so reminiscent of the environs that helped shape and mold his character, and catapulted him beyond the confines of mediocrity. Within this man is a strong sense of loyalty pulling at him, always nagging and nudging him at times when he feels no real sense or need for him to get involved.
The combination and unity of this “triune” are akin to the advantages of a swinging door which opens in either direction- it has the freedom of movement that is pulled or pushed in either direction. All bases are covered in the quest of the black community to uplift itself if the church is a partner in conjunction with national black women’s and men’s organizations ( that incorporate all other existing groups). This combination is an equation that marches towards freedom for the black community.
The Corollary
The natural consequence and outgrowth of this triune is an innate outgrowth of youth and children’s associations connected to the triune. This reality carries with it a concern and caring equal to that of a mother hen covering her chicks with her wings. The triune would provide an ability to monitor and raise the productive behavior of our children never before witnessed by the black community. Black youth would continue activities with existing organizations that help with their development e.g., After School Matters. It would not be our desire to separate black children from such productive and needed organizations such as this one , but to encourage and support them.
