I want you to be POWERFUL - Seko Varner's 06 01 2017 Commencement Speech for The Golden Fold (Fly Guy Special Presentation)

Summary: Fly Guy Special Presentation - I want you to be POWERFUL - Seko Varner's 06 01 2017 Commencement Speech for The Golden Fold of Chesapeake, Virginia. Brother Seko Varner created The Golden Fold in 2010 as a male youth mentorship program based upon traditional Rites of Passage processes, College and Career readiness research, and work force development trends. In this two part lecture Seko begins by giving a history of The Pillars, which are the four principles of The Fold (Sound Adulthood, Scholarship, Endurance, Uplift) which have basis in the four cardinal principles of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc (Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, Uplift). The second piece of the talk is dedicated to the idea that young men must grown to be powerful instead of being valuable, or of little value.
