Hi, my name is Deborah Day I am the creator of the Mindful Messages Mentoring Program. Here is some information on my program. My health and life skills oriented curriculum utilizes the creative concepts of spoken word and mindfulness to reach and teach youth ages 11-18 on HIV/AIDS, STD's, Drugs, Abstinence, Safe Sex, Peer Pressure, Relationships etc. through an Africentric focus.

I created this program in 2002 and just finished publishing the second editions of the book(s). Now I am expanding the program and I am reaching charter schools, public schools, youth agencies etc, nationwide. This program is great as a supplement to an existing curriculum or for at home schooling or mentoring.

I know it works and that your children will benefit in many ways. The costs of the book and workbook, is only $31.75 (which includes shipping and handling). The Teachers Guide $16.95 will be ready to ship in about 3 weeks. (Volume Pricing is Available) I am also available for teacher trainings and workshops. Please list me on your website and pass this onto your members. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Mindful Messages Healing Thoughts for the Hip and Hop Descendants from the Motherland has a message for everyone and it is a great educational and motivational tool to empower youth (particularly African American youth) on life skills and HIV/AIDS Awareness and Prevention.

The Mindful Messages Mentoring Program opens the creative mind as it reminds our youth that "the ancestors are awake and anticipating their accountability." We reconnect youth to the Motherland because we believe that individuals are spiritually and morally strengthened when they are empowered with knowledge of their unique ancestry, culture and history.

The book and workbook together form the curriculum utilizing the concepts of "spoken word" and "mindfulness" to change "at risk" behavior and increase self-awareness and self-esteem.

Spoken Word curriculum is educational, empowering, entertaining and enlightening! The Mindful Messages Mentoring Program is perfect for mentoring at home. It can also support an existing curriculum in the classroom.
