Great news - I'm currently in contact with GJA (George Jackson Academy) to potentially speak to their young boys about seizing opportunity and overcoming adversity, among other things. You can read this great article in which the NY Times profiles the school to get a better idea of what they are about.
Based on what I've read in articles about GJA and based on what I've heard of their students, I think I may learn more from them than they would from me. However, here's to a win-win situation; I'll keep you all posted as more details are finalized and hopefully something gets planned.
