The Young King, Zachary Smith electrifies us with his Next Move mentality!

 

Our featured guest today is Zachary Smith: Mr. Smith is an up and coming, 19-year-old King. This King has evolved from a prince at a very early age. He has withstood intense pressure, challenges, and other environmental, emotional, and spiritual transformation that has shaped his evolution. Ultimately, allowing him to manifest into a diamond in the rough. Zach is an author, speaker, blogger, and future ambassador for health and wellness for the Campaign for Black Male Achievement. He persevered through homelessness, a mental institution, and being naked in Detroit during the blistering cold on Christmas Eve in 2018.

 

Mr. Smith’s defining moment in life was when Detroit's own Russel Harris of the Future Project, listened to his thoughts and dreams. Then, Mr. Harris took him to Rumble Young Man Rumble, where he exposed Zach to professional men who were obsessed with creating opportunities for young males. Zachary then participated in a panel where he was offered a scholarship for college.

Zach demonstrates the power of the human spirit and its resiliency. He receives support from a Village of Mentors, The Campaign for Black Male Achievement, and his renewed approach in life, beginning with the breath, nutrition, and making your next move your best move.
