Deep listening is at the core of our values.
It is an integral part of our program and plays a vital role in our trainings and interactions with the #NyanamWidows and their children.
When working with the #NyanamWidows and their children, we actively engage in and demonstrate deep listening. This dedication guarantees that our programs align to the needs, concerns and priorities of our widows and their children. Further, it enables us to create lasting impact, relationships and provide meaningful support.

Young people are exposed to so much more information than generations before. In turn, they may be having life-changing experiences that they are not able to process and talk to anyone about. It is up to us to help them prepare and better understand some of the issues that they may face. So, let us invite kids to be a part of the discussion – the real discussion.
This rang true for children’s book author and youth development professional Rashad Patterson who, while growing up in southwest Atlanta, saw the economic and educational disparities amongst his peers – first noticing this even during his time in elementary school. Not all his peers received the same attention, educational rigor. Rashad says this of his experience, “The teachers I had were not relatable and weren’t equipped to understand the needs of urban kids.” Rashad took those observations and turned them into a passion for relaying complex social issues into relatable and digestible stories for kids.
A refreshing deviation from many children’s books that shy away from some of the very topics young people are experiencing, Rashad’s stories touch on topics involving colorism, abandonment, and racial profiling. He has published six books, been a guest on several nationally recognized podcasts, and has been invited to speak at almost a dozen metro Atlanta public schools. Keenly drawn to examine societal issues around inequality, Rashad received his Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Georgia State University and studied Computer Information Systems at Chattanooga Tech. His studies in both helped him understand the relationship between knowledge and access.
In addition to authoring his series of children’s books Rashad works closely with movement leaders and civic partners. Through book giveaways, distribution of school supplies to metro Atlanta students, and free holiday gift cards to single moms, Rashad continues to be an active part of his community. He has also partnered with the organization, Engineering for Kids, where he introduces students to the six stages of the engineering design process while executing projects based off the lessons. Here, Rashad incorporates his sociology and tech background teaching kids the importance of STEM while having discussions around life choices, integrity, and preparing them for a brighter future.
