When Learning Becomes a Lifeline

Mary’s journey as a YBM scholar shows the power of preparation meeting opportunity. While still learning American Sign Language (ASL), her very first day as a hospital intern led her to meet a young girl who could only communicate through ASL. With joy and confidence, Mary was able to connect, proving that even new skills can immediately create bridges of hope, dignity, and understanding. Her story reflects the heart of YBM: equipping young leaders with tools that make a difference in real lives.

Voices in Silence, Power in Unity

In YBM, learning extends beyond classrooms, it becomes a celebration of culture, creativity, and connection. These students are discovering the beauty of American Sign Language (ASL) not just as a skill, but as a bridge of inclusion. Their choral performance in ASL reminds us that music is more than sound; it is expression, identity, and unity. By raising their hands in song, they embody the YBM mission to uplift, amplify, and inspire — showing the world that every voice matters, whether spoken or signed.

Through ASL, these YBM students prove that harmony is more than music - it’s unity in action.

Creative Voices, Emerging Leaders

When Words Uplift, Amplify, Inspire

Ayomiposi’s recital reminds us that poetry is more than art, it is a declaration of identity, pride, and vision. Through her words, she channels strength from the past, courage for the present, and hope for the future. This performance embodies the YBM spirit: uplifting voices, amplifying truth, and inspiring a generation to embrace their calling with confidence and dignity.

Voices of YBM!

Strength, Focus, Leadership

Elijah’s dedication to kung fu reflects more than martial arts, it’s about discipline, focus, and perseverance. At YBM, we believe these same qualities build leaders who can overcome challenges and shape their communities with strength and vision. Every movement, every practice session, is a step toward mastery, not just of kung fu, but of character.

“Kung fu teaches me focus, discipline, and confidence — skills I carry beyond the mat.” – Elijah

Music in Motion: Inspiring Futures

This moment captures more than practice, it captures passion, discipline, and expression. As part of YBM’s leadership and personal development, students are encouraged to explore creative talents that build confidence and open new doors. Music, like leadership, takes patience, persistence, and courage. With every note played and every lyric sung, our scholars are learning not just to perform, but to inspire.

Every chord is a step toward confidence. Every song, a voice of purpose.
