About Us
Established in 2013, Now lead by our President Mr. Lance A. Jones Sr , Melanin, LLC is a Pan-African movement and also a United African-American Economic Action. Dr. Gregory Headen serves as chairman, Dr. Orlin Carter serves as treasurer, and Thomas King who God gave this vision to serves as vice chairman. Other members include Dr. Linwood Carver, Thomas Johnson, Andreana Picon, and April Garrett. Their focus and motto is “God First”. King says it all began when several of the members were meeting and the idea came about to not only address many of the issues that are plaguing their community, but to also find solutions to fix them. Melanin, LLC is for profit and legally organized and incorporated as an organization comprised of people with a common mission; helping one another and the entire Pan-African community in the areas of health, education, business, wealth, finance, and to also provide support for positive initiatives in the black community.
Dr. Headen says their group has a real interest in African culture. Their mission is to create greater unity while instilling historical awareness and values of respect, trust, support and care for everyone. This is accomplished by creating jobs for our youth, providing loans, supporting black businesses, and providing education opportunities through workshops and seminars. They are able to meet the needs of their community with various services and programs including legal, political, research and development, banking and economic, educational, faith based organizations and more.
The purpose of Melanin, LLC is to break the poverty cycle through financial discipline and asset accumulation, while educating and empowering their community to create generational wealth for a greater financial future. They believe that wealth for the next generation can only be created when eliminate the mentality of living for today. They also practice group economics as outlined in Dr. Claud Anderson’s book, “Power Economics.”
They have also worked with and invested in several businesses to help them get started. Some of these include Siassa, which are also members of Genesis Baptist Church where Dr. Headen leads. Genesis Baptist Church provided them space and Melanin, LLC contributed to Siassa. This is exactly the types of things that Melanin is striving to accomplish. Additionally, their group gives financial support to youth to assist them as they move forward in life.

Boys to men mentorship programs The National Mentoring Partnership (MENTOR) and My Brother’s Keeper Alliance (MBKA) together sponsored the creation of a guidebook “Guide to Mentoring Boys and Young Men of Color.” The Guide serves as a supplement to the fourth edition of The Elements of Effective Practice for MentoringTM, and includes additional recommended practices focusing on boys and young men of color (BYMOC). Born from the idea that BYMOC are better served with a targeted set of practices which represent enhancements of those in the original Elements, these additional recommended practices are emergent based on recent research and recommendations from researchers and practitioners in the field. Data shows that boys and young men of color, regardless of socio-economic background, are disproportionately at risk throughout the journey from their youngest years to college and career (the White House “Fact Sheet”, 2014). This guide is part of an effort to push mentoring programs closer to the cutting edge of research and practice, increasing the rigor of our collective work with mentors and mentees. The practices and resources discussed in this guide will be useful to any mentoring program serving BYMOC and will help them ensure that their services are culturally relevant and effective in changing lives and communities.
THE PEACE KEEPERS Men accepting responsibility to make their communities a safe and peaceful place to live. Due to serious economical time there has been an increase of gun violence and crime with most of its victims being women and children. The safety of the women, children and elderly in the community must be paramount. There must be a collective effort from all religious, social, law enforcement and grass root organizations to bring peace to these communities. Peace is the common denominator that allows us to transcend above our religious, political and racial differences. We all want Peace in our homes, community and in the world. But there is no Peace when there is no justice. We must work hard to establish justice for all regardless of class, greed, or color. Where there is Love and harmony there is Peace of mind. We believe when peace is present, violence is absent. Peace is not just the absence of war or violence, but peace is the absence of conflicts, and all conflicts are not violent. We all must as Peacekeepers eliminate these conflicts so that we can together to create an environment of peace. I Am Present for Peace!
