Passion Projects
2021-2024
Project Gemtsone
Self - Directed Passion Project
At Project Gemstone, we defy social stigmas with an educational model that includes quality leadership and high expectations for all students despite their unequal circumstances or access to quality resources. When coupled with young mentors who look like them, we know that children rest more confident and assured and become more willing to engage in diverse learning processes. Our proprietary learning system includes representation of black youth that aspire to build diverse connections.

Children's Book Drive
Collaboration with JB Dondolo, Inc.

Vitiligo Awareness
Collaboration with Skin I AM IN
Vitiligo is a chronic (long-lasting) autoimmune disorder that causes patches of skin to lose pigment or color. This happens when melanocytes – skin cells that make pigment – are attacked and destroyed, causing the skin to turn a milky-white color. Vitiligo affects 1% of the population. I am in one the percent, and I am honored to have been selected as a Vitiligo runway model.

Water for Hospital
Collaboration with JB Dondolo, Inc.
In 2018 we became educational ambassadors for JB Dondolo, Inc., an organization that provides clean water, sanitation, and hygiene programs (WASH) to underserved and impoverished communities in Africa and the United States. We donated $2,000 and of our business proceeds to provide water for mother in waiting hospital in Zimbabwe.

One Jar-at -a Time
Self - Directed Passion Project
We know that life can be bitter sometimes. So, 2BrosITK is sprinkling a little bit of sweetness into the lives of unsuspecting individuals via our Pay-It-Forward Program. Our program is quite simple and ingenious at the same time. Customers simply buy an extra Cake In A Jar that we distribute randomly. Then, we ingeniously bless a charitable organization with a portion of the proceeds, just like we do with all of our cakes in a jar. You may even get a mention when we post the picture of the recipient to our sites. It’s A Double Blessing!
