WHAT is it?

BLACK Lemonade for All (BLFA) is an interactive program that:

• assists parents in the acquisition of effective parenting skills

• builds upon strengths within their heritage and family structure

• improves communication between parents and children--especially boys 

• increases academic performance in school 

BLACK Lemonade for All (BLFA) Blends Leadership, Advocacy, Culture and Knowledge into a refreshing set of meaningful experiences that combine hope, help, pride and vision.

How does it work?

BLACK Lemonade for All (BLFA) utilizes an empowerment curriculum to guide and support intentional conversations about current challenges facing parents of school-age children.  Building upon their individual and collective strength, parents discover new ways to think differently about themselves, their children and their future.  Using culture as a lens, they begin to envision an active family-based community in which they can thrive and grow.  

Participants acquire skills and tools to “squeeze success out of life’s circumstances.” 

The expected outcomes include:

• Reinforcement of effective parenting skills for home and school. 

• Promotion of effective home-school communications techniques. 

• Introduction to student performance monitoring routines. 

• Adoption and practice of empowered parenting routines 

• Participants committed to model routines for other parents.
