Join us on August 11th from 1 PM to 5 PM for a transformative afternoon with the 100 Black Men of St. Louis. “Haircuts & Headshots: Empowering Future Leaders” is designed for young men aged 18 and under, providing free professional haircuts, engaging health conversations, and professional headshots. Enjoy light refreshments, door prizes, and hear from special guest speakers who are leaders in health and wellness. This event aims to empower, inspire, and prepare our young men for the academic year and beyond.
Purpose of the Event:
The “Haircuts & Headshots: Empowering Future Leaders” event is designed to prepare our young men for academic and personal success as they gear up for the new school year. By providing them with tools and resources shared by top-performing leaders in our community, we aim to fuel their aspirations and equip them with best practices for success. Our goal is to inspire confidence and foster a proactive attitude towards their educational and life goals.
Participant Takeaways:
• Professional Haircuts: Each participant will receive a professional haircut. We believe that looking good is an essential step towards feeling confident and motivated. Our experienced barbers will ensure that each young man leaves not only with a fresh cut but with a boosted self-image that says, “I am ready to take on the world.”
• Professional Headshots: A professional photographer will provide each young man with a headshot. This essential tool can be used for academic applications, social media profiles, or to mark the beginning of their professional journey, encapsulating their renewed confidence and readiness.
• Words of Affirmation: Each participant will engage in sessions that include powerful affirmations tailored to fortify their self-esteem and reinforce a positive mindset. These affirmations will serve as verbal reminders of their capabilities and worth.
• Plan for Success: Building on the theme of empowerment, each young man will leave with a concrete, personalized “Success Plan” for the end of 2024. This plan will outline actionable steps and goals tailored to each participant’s academic and personal aspirations, providing a roadmap to success that they can begin to follow immediately.
Event Impact:
By combining practical resources like haircuts and headshots with motivational elements like affirmations and success planning, we create a holistic experience that prepares young men not just to succeed academically but to excel in all areas of life. This event is more than just a day’s activity; it’s an investment into the future of each participant, providing them with a foundation upon which they can build enduring success.
