Section 1
REVIBE is a family's attempt to breathe life back into families and communities who have lost their heart beat. Our mission is to inspire families to become the First Family in their bloodline to create more meaning to family engagements by taking the initiative to strengthen family bonds and community cohesion through community revitalization projects, environmental stewardship, sustainability pratices, and/or serving the poor and needy. REVIBE Inc. is the first family to join the Neighborhood B.O.L.T.S (Bodies of Light Transmitted to the Streets) Regenaration Team to start a legacy of First Family Initiatives to strengthen family and community cohesion.
​
We are also giving attention and putting the spot light on individuals, families, and groups that are doing good in their community. Instead of being apart of the problem, complaining, and doing NOTHINGGG, this family is actually taking the initiative to generate light in their community by investing their time, space and energy to strengthen family bonds and influence community involvement.
​
Hear from people who are being asked about their concerns, the issues and the conditions of their neighborhood and what they are doing (if anything) to address their concerns and why do they choose or not choose to take action. Actual footage, personal experiences, real life stories, problelm solving, and solutions. This is our INSIDE EDITION. People want to be recognized, People want to be heard and We're going to give them that opportunity.

THE HEART OF THE MATTER
Section 2
Neighborhoods have lost their heartbeat. If we don't take action now, our communities will be completely taken over by darkness . We are changing people's perspective on how they view and define what the heart of the city really is. It is not merely the center of it all, but the heart of the city are the people who lets their light shine in the midst of it all. Instead of being a product of your environment, let the environment be a product of you.

Section 3
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
We all have a calling over our lives. We all have purpose, We all have gifts, We all have talents, and We all have the ability to be something greater. Some may say poverty is a choice and some will say that the system and neighborhoods are rigged up to keep the poor poor and sick. We believe that if everyone knew their worth, place and purpose in life and made a conscious decision to pursue, protect, and perform their God-given purpose, the world will be much better than we found it. On a local scale, low income communities would be thriving. On a national scale, crime rate will go down tremendously. Homicides and mass shootings that have been dominating headlines will begin to decline. Bullying, suicides, and school shootings will subside. Envy, jealousy, and competition amongst women of color would tone down. Our neighborhoods would look more beautiful and feel more safer. And the climate crisis would not be a concern. On a global scale, we'll be more proud to say the Planet Earth is our home. If a widespread of people decide to pursue purpose, change will be astronomical. Creating a Culture of Purpose Driven individuals will have an enormous effect on communities and will be COSMIC and unforgettable. We believe that taking this route would be a comprehensive approach to crime prevention.​
LETS FACE IT
NO parent imagines their child to be a suspect of any kind, a victim of a terrible crime or just another labeled casualty. So where did we go wrong? Where do we draw the line and really take a stand against neighborhood corruption. People are only a product of their environment. Born into poverty and raised in an environment lacking essential qualities conducive to living a productive and fulfilling life is the norm.​

Section 5
IMAGINE THIS
We believe that if children are raised up into KNOWING they are gifted for purpose and destined for greatness, they will know just how valuable they are to the world and to the human race. They will know that their geographical location is where they are planted to make change, not to get caught up into a vicious cycle of poverty and chaos. They will know that they are a very important piece to the puzzle. Children and young adults will have higher self-esteem, feelings of worthiness and having a strong sense of belonging, knowing that Indeed they do belong. There will be no envy, no jealousy, no bullying and no competition because everyone would be in full acknowledgement and acceptance of their own unique gifts that will accomodate them in prospering in their purpose. They will know that they are extra special, signifcant in value, and that their gifts are equally important to others and are integrally responsible for their involvement of contributing to the advancement of humanity. These children are a growing constellation of stars coming into alignment with their purpose . Gifted with an intrinsic value, and endowed with super natural ability to create desirable outcomes. Creating environments conducive to their learning, growth, and development will determine future outputs and outcomes. In knowing all of this, it's never to late to step into your purpose. It starts with knowing who you are and what you possess, feeling good about yourself, believing in yourself, and stepping out on faith.
Section 6
FORCED INTO CRIME
Most people who commit a crime are not bad people, they are desperate and would do pretty much anything to survive. Poverty can create circumstances where people feel they have limited options. Lack of access to education, employment opportunities, and social services can push individuals toward crime as a means of survival. It's not just about financial hardship, it's also about the environment and systemic issues that can trap people in cycles of poverty and crime. We have the compassion to bring opportunities and financial resources to end poverty.
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
(poem)
Section 7
The struggle is real, when you have to juggle bills, to see what you can do without...you know the drill. What's the deal, when you gotta to rob, still for a meal. I feel, stressed out, about my life's ordeal. It's difficult to sleep the pain away, so I kneel. Pray to God to deliver me and take the wheel, but still. It feels like it's all going downhill. Poor a drink, smoke dope, just to cope, now I'm chasing a feeling that consumes all hope. Caught up in the surreal, where dreams get killed. It's a hard knock life, nothing nice forreal. Police brutality is at an all time high. "I can't breathe". Verdict is in..."I say and eye for an eye", "I say a tooth for a tooth""Hands up don't shoot". I'm in pursuit of just staying alive, caught in a loop. ​It's my God given right, to do as I please. I wanna rise up and take hold of the American dream. I wanna breathe clean air, drink H2O that's not contaminated with germs and hazard chemicals. I just want to thrive, I just want to grow, I just want an opportunity to show what I know. Elevate from below, to the best version of me. I agree, I'm not free to a certain degree, until we break the chains of poverty. (Author: Anonymous)
Section 8
CHANGE IS HAPPENING NOW
The changing process of gentrification for the most part is for the greater good IF we are considering the large amount of low-income families being displaced because of the rise of property value. Residents who decides to stay are publicly humiliated every time they walk pass a new business with products or services that they cannot afford.
​
While the middle and upper class bring wealth from the outside in, We are finding ways to generate wealth from the inside out. Real Change....we're talking True Transformation starts from within.
You are a very important piece to the puzzle. Your contribution makes your community complete.

NEIGHBORHOOD B.O.L.T.S. REGENERATION TEAM
Our Frontline First Responders are vital to our plan of implementing change in South Florida and are responsible for modeling role model behaviors that highlight inspiring leadership and stewardship. Our teams consist of a community of family units coming together to strengthen their community. These families are emitting light into neighborhoods and breathing life back into communities that have lost their heartbeat. They are beaming their attention on what matters the most and what most people would overlook. Families that are taking the initiative are now saying that neighborhood gentrification has become a moral issue. We hope to cause an emergence of community leaders and other families to rise up out of a fix mindset of accepting things as they are. Taking heart in revitalizing your community and having a mindset to implement change is an opportunity for growth and improvement.
We are passionately working together to achieve excellence in mixed and low-income neighborhoods of color that are vulnerable and are susceptible to being taken over by darkness and negative forces due to current vices and environmental negligence. To do this we do have to confront and address several factors that threatens the growth & development, health & well-being, and the upward mobility of both the people and the community as a whole and take a stand against current environmental conditions that place individuals at risk of failure.
​
Every public appearance of our Front Line Responders will leave a lasting impression of our presence that will resonate hope and inspire residents to make change and engage in a human-environment connection which is vital to neighborhood restoration.

Foundational scriptures: Matthew 5: 14-16
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
