"Over
500 SAAB brothers across the country! 5th through 12th
graders, freshmen, seniors, associate degrees to PhDs in
attendance at the SAAB National Conference. I TRULY
honor the parents of the grade school students who put
trust in us mentors to guide their children. Dr. Bledsoe
you have blessed us all this weekend. Your work has
really impacted the lives of many in positives ways. Let
us younger/future leaders take this new wealth of
knowledge we have consumed back to our home cities and
start IMPLEMENTING! Saving lives... and Salvaging
Dreams"

"Heading home from Indianapolis and reflecting
on the
most transformational weekend I've had in a long time
(academic wise). The SAAB National Conference
gave me a wake up call when it comes to academics,
definition of Manhood, sense of identity and liberation.
But yet, never forsaking our Heavenly father. I've been moved by testimonies, shedding tears, and just
enjoying the moments with my mentor and brothers. All in
all, a revolutionary change in me, feeling a sense
complete liberation, rejuvenated, closer to God and
motivated once more. Such an amazing experience. Thank
you Dr. Tyrone Bledsoe for the beautiful experience."
