Seeing our scholars turn ideas and dreams into reality is why we do what we do. That’s why we are thrilled to celebrate brothers and Breakthrough Cliffs Campus scholars Brandon (7th grade) and Braxton (1st grade) Worthen as they publish their book, Brown Boys Affirmations! This powerful collection of daily affirmations celebrates strength, self-love, and resilience.

Filled with inspiring messages like “I am strong,” “I can make a difference,” “I make progress every day,” “I make the most of every opportunity,” and “I make my dreams a reality,” their book encourages young readers to embrace their potential.

What started as a Pitch Challenge idea last spring quickly laid the foundation for what would become a published book just months later.

Part of our Entrepreneur Showcase, the Pitch Challenge is a competition where scholars present product or service solutions to real-world problems they’ve identified. They develop ideas, craft business plans, and pitch their concepts to a panel of judges in front of an audience.

Scholars also have the opportunity to develop and sell products at our Lemonade Day Marketplace, the other component of our Entrepreneur Showcase. Both programs foster leadership, effective communication, and hands-on experience in marketing, financial literacy, and customer engagement.

We are incredibly proud of Brandon and Braxton for their dedication and hard work in bringing Brown Boys Affirmations to life. We celebrate their success and hope it inspires the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.
