Brother Kelvin Henry sharing his must-read book, Rise, with the Grand Polemarch of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Brother Jimmy McMikle!

Rise is a powerful and inspiring book that reminds us that growth is a choice and greatness is forged through perseverance, discipline, and faith. Brother Henry masterfully combines practical wisdom with real-life experiences to challenge readers to move beyond limitations, embrace adversity, and pursue their purpose with confidence.

It’s always a proud moment to see one of our own sharing his gifts and inspiring others. Congratulations again, Brother Henry, on this outstanding achievement!

MWAC NUPES IN SERVICE

Tonight, the MWAC Nupes kicked off Phase Two of our service with the Bolingbrook Community Closet!

Over the next three days, Brothers will volunteer their time sorting, organizing, and hanging clothing items to help prepare them for families throughout the community.

Tonight, Brother Polemarch A. Craig Kinard, along with Brothers Cornelius, Ken Harris, Danny Harris, and Jackson, rolled up their sleeves and got to work.

This is what service looks like—Brothers working together and making an impact in the communities we serve.
