SWU – Where are the “So-Called Leaders” Once the Smoke Clears?

The question was asked on National Television by a young adult about “where are the "so-called" leaders once the smoke clears?” To take it a step further where are the Church and local leaders? Why does the Church come out to tragic events but all you see and hear are the “so-called” leaders promoting their church or preaching but never offering a solution to solve the ongoing issues in the community? If the Church is part of the Community how come funds going to the church are used to better community by offering afterschool education or skills training? These are some of the questions the youth of today have presented. So what is your take on the issue? Should the Church be doing more if they are for the community? Why do local leaders never offer an active solution that is ongoing?

Solutions that can work if everyone takes responsibility in doing their part.

1. Education on being Financially Prepared - Make a plan to change your financial situation.

2. Enhancing your mind to get out of your own growth - Thinking and seeing beyond what you only know.

3. Stand your ground - When you see others destroying the neighborhood speak up, clean up, and rise up.

4. Reassure your kids that are valuable and they can accomplish anything. Stop putting them and others down. Parents be accountable for what you say.(Stop the cycle of death of our kids of being "P.O.O.R." (People Overlooking Opportunity Repeatedly).

5. Find a mentor that is doing positive and learn from their actions and words.
