In a world where promises often fall flat and good intentions rarely reach their destination, action becomes the loudest language of love. That’s exactly what the partnership between The Servicemen and St. Francis Xavier Academy in Uganda is speaking—loud, clear, and with undeniable impact.

Today, we planted more than seeds—we planted possibilities. Operation Planting Seeds with The Servicemen and the incredible Pre-K 4 classes at Dorothy I. Height Elementary reminded me why early engagement matters so much. In just 45 minutes, more than 40 bright young minds got a chance to dig into the soil, choose their own seeds, and learn that food doesn’t just come from stores—it comes from care, culture, and community.
The Servicemen, led by Taurean Meacham, have announced a groundbreaking collaboration with St. Francis Xavier Mityana Children's Foundation Limited in Uganda, marking the first step of a transformative initiative called Operation H.O.P.E. (Honoring Our Promised Equity). Rooted in the ethos of active collaboration with historically affected communities, the program seeks to empower vulnerable populations by leveraging the talents, resources, and platforms of those from underrepresented communities to "reach back" and extend opportunities to others.
Inspired by a commitment to equity and global kinship, Operation H.O.P.E. aims to expand beyond Uganda to nations with historical ties to freed Black populations, including Liberia, Haiti, Brazil, and Indigenous communities in North America. The mission reflects a vision of reconnection and restoration: reconnecting the African diaspora to its global family while honoring the shared legacy of resilience, strength, and unity.
Today, I had the distinct honor of blessing my daughter’s class, her teachers, and the security guards at DOROTHY I HEIGHT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL in Washington, D.C., with holiday gifts. This act of gratitude and love is part of a new initiative close to my heart: Operation: Spread Love, an outreach effort led by me and The Servicemen to recognize and uplift the unsung heroes in our children’s lives.
