Description
Vision:
Our Vision in the near future is to open a grant funded and patron supported community activity and fitness center for
low-income and at risk youth. We are in the process of collecting gym equipment and other fitness related items to help complete our mission. If you know or have any information that would help us achieve our goal, please email us at behlthconscious@gmail.com.
As the recession has firmly settled into our country, unemployment has doubled, housing prices continue to soar, and more and more daily activity expenses continue to rise. This vulnerable time in a person's life presents unprecedented risk factors as families struggle to do the essential things in life like joining fitness clubs, buying nutritious whole foods and paying for children's extracurricular activities. Most families are having to cut back on healthy activities, and have no programs or services for youth despite the myriad of risk factors associated with low-income and homelessness. The needs of youth are often overlooked, but the opportunity for a healthy and happy childhood has a very real expiration date.
BeHealthConscious Organization provides a service that educates, middle to low income families on physical fitness and nutrition. Our organization also finds low-cost or no-cost fitness centers and programs for low-income families. Volunteers serve more than 120 families who are homeless every week. Our program model provides one-on-one attention, healthy meals and access to developmentally appropriate activities designed to reduce the traumatic effects of homelessness on families and to promote learning and joy.

Tennessee State University TARAJI P. HENSON Takes On Story About 1st Black Female Coach of a D-1 Men's Team
TARAJI P. HENSON Takes On Story About 1st Black Female Coach of a D-1 Men's Team
Taraji P. Henson is playing from the white tees.
In "From the Rough," the Oscar-nominated "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" actor will take on a role inspired by Dr. Catana Starks, the first female head coach of an NCAA Division 1 men's team. Gyre Entertainment is producing the sports drama, which begins filming in New Orleans in early October.
Henson will play a fictionalized version of Starks named Cassandra Turner, who parlays a successful stint as coach of the women's swim team at a historically black college into a shot at building the men's golf team. With available black players scarce, Turner scours Europe, Australia and Asia for hidden talents and constructs a uniquely multi-racial team. (In real life, Starks was the golf coach at Tennessee State University.)
"This extraordinary film explores one's ability to transform life's rough circumstances into distinct advantages," said director-producer Pierre Bagley. "It confronts issues of race, gender, class and cultural barriers in ways that are provocative, and sometimes hilarious.
Michael A. Critelli wrote the screenplay and will be an executive producer along with Kevin E. Hooks.
