Small Seeds Development’s Mother to Son (ROP) Penn State trip – “Who said single parent boys can’t excel?”

Overnight Field Trip to the Pennsylvania State University
April 27- 28, 2013

Behind every statistic is a story and when it comes to young, African American boys, the numbers are staggering and the reality is sobering.  Black boys across the board score below their counterparts in other racial and ethnic groups when it comes to graduation rates, literacy rates and college preparedness.  And many African American men, in turn, are locked out of employment and are filling up the nation’s prisons in disproportionate numbers.  The Mother to Son Program at Small Seeds Development Inc. emphasizes a connection between early learning and the dropout rate.  Sometimes data does not tell the whole story, however we must step up and engage Black boys to produce different academic and social outcomes.  Many boys come to the MTSP because they do not want to be “turned off” toward education or get caught up in something they will regret later.

SPQ Exclusive Interview: Curtis Martin, Taking the High Road to the Hall by Malik Vincent

By Malik Vincent for SPQ

Measuring the glitz, glamour, or glory of a successful NFL career against its rigors or pain could be one of the hardest things that a highly-touted pro prospect may have to do coming out of college.

Fortune, fame, and friends — sometimes of a tainted variety– are all things to consider.

One could grow curious and wonder if fortitude could play a role?

Just ask five-time, all-pro running back Curtis Martin how he feels about it. As a matter of fact, it’s some people’s opinion that he built a career around it.

Soul Pitt Media Congratulates Charlie Batch for Winning the 2013 Byron ‘Whizzer’ White award!

The professional football players of America established the award and named it after Supreme Court Justice Byron Raymond “Whizzer” White because of his role as a humanitarian and public servant. The NFLPA annually presents the honor.

All finalists will receive donations for a charity of their choice, and Batch will receive an additional $100,000 for his charity. He chose the Batch Foundation, which focuses on providing after-school programs, scholarships and resources for students in financially challenged communities.

Soul Pitt Quarterly also had a spotlight story on Charlie Batch in our 2013 Winter Issue written by Malik Vincent.  Did you get your Free copy yet?  It’s on page 22.  Or you can read it right here online.   CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE.

[SPQ Article] Spotlight on Charlie Batch by Malik Vincent

Photo Credit: Pittsburgh Steelers Media Relations

Over the past few of his 15-year career in the NFL, you might see Charlie Batch with a headset in street clothes on the Steelers sideline imparting his pearls of wisdom among their franchise quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, during a game.

With the clock ticking on his durable NFL journey, he’s found other things to do with a similar headset.  He’s appeared on various local radio and television broadcasts, as a high school football color analyst.  The former radio version of the Charlie Batch Show that aired on NewsTalk 104.7 tackled various issues that pertain to the sport that he’s loved for decades, until his show was discontinued after one year.  It was, still, on to bigger and better things for the humanitarian and community mentor in his quest to become a successful player-gone-broadcaster.
