I mean, I ain't broke, but bear with me...

A couple of months ago, my homeboy's niece invited me to come speak to her group of high school kids in a mentorship program about my career, how I got to be where I am, tips for success, etc..

Cool. Rich luh da kids and I'm all about the uplift.

So I do my thing, peep out the program, and I'm cised like, "Man, I really dig what y'all got going on here. How can I be down?"

Bruuuuuuuh...

That's when the program director pulled me aside and said, "We always want to have new mentors and support in the pipeline. Here's an application packet and some of the financials so that you'll have everything in order when you apply."

Financials? What?

A nigga looked at the packet and to "volunteer" with this org, you gotta drop $10,000 per year and then raise another $5,000 on top of the time commitment which is a mandatory 40 hours a year.

Now, I got a good job, I do pretty well for myself. I pay my bills and buy sausage making kits and shit, so I ain't struggling. But man, I can't just write a check for ten stacks on the spot like that. I need to get on that mentoring part time kit where I give you like a G and then y'all just have me on the back of the luncheon programs and shit as a "Not Baller Donor" or som'n.

But that's like this whole new phase I'm at in life right now where I'm getting invited to all kinds of fundraisers and shit like I'm the nigga with funds to just give away because, you know, causes.

Nah. My money ain't that strong right now and I'm gonna need to hoard some of this shit before y'all start asking me to give it away.

You feel me?

.

You pay the $10K partially because you're helping the organization, but also because it gets you access to the other mentors in the org that happen to be some baller ass movers and shakers in the city.

So yeah, it's $10K, but then you get to be on a first name basis with the dude from Ariel Capital and the head of HR & Talent for Huron Group. You mentor the kids, then turn around have lunch with the Kenny Williams from the White Sox.

THAT'S what the money's for.

mentor kids.

From the frats to the shriners, part of the appeal of service is doing it with similarly situated individuals.

That's how the game works.

It's why Baller Ass Movers'n'Shakers are always on someobody's "Board of Directors"

15k to be a volunteer? FOH.

BE CLEAR: you have 15K but that's "y'all" 15K and we still in a recession...

The alumni network is worth it if you're trying to make moves and mentoring the youth is a good thing but 15K is 15K.

You know your dude just blew you up on FB, right? Which is pretty awesome!!!!

This site is so scanner darkly sometimes....but this helps me in your favor, or should I say context favors you. Keep it real my nigger.

We spar over his support for Sanders and mine for Clinton, but we've always been on different sides of arguments that we can respectfully disagree about.

Like the charity I am involved with has a give/get of 6k and as long as you reach the number why should they care if you reach into your own pocket or raise it from friends?
