February 08, 2009 - Master Terrance Evins of King Tiger Tae Kwon Do North Charlotte was one of the featured conference speakers for the 2nd Young Black Males Leadership Conference (YBM) on Saturday, February 7th. The event was held at the Mallard Creek High School in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The YBM Leadership Conference is part of a comprehensive program designed to create a new reality by developing leadership skills in young black men between the ages of 14 and 18. In this new reality, young black men are educated, motivated, inspired and are seen as true leaders of our global community.
“I was proud to be able to participate,” Evins remarked. “As an African-American man and a business owner, I feel it is important to share my experiences with other young men. They need to know they too can make it in this world. Also I had to be honest. Alerting them that any amount of success takes hard work but it’s worth it in the end.”
