Read My Story In Our Family Book To Learn About The Roots Of Touch A Life Academy
In this masterful work of family-focused sociology, Lois Benjamin considers the lives of Pennie and Roscoe James and their children, revealing how a large, close-knit African American family with humble origins in a small town of North Carolina is shaped by the contours of its religious and ethical value system. Despite the challenges of daily experiences, the James elders transmitted values to their children that provided them with the resources to thrive and the resilience to meet adversity. The James children recount their personal, unique perspectives on how faith, familial solidarity, and savvy entrepreneurship led to their continued generational success. Benjamin uses a blend of ethnographic and qualitative methods to place the James family’s experiences in a broader historical context. In doing so, she shows that the family’s values of compassion, empathy, and communitarian and enterprising spirit offer hope in this polarized society.
TEAM—Together Everyone Achieves More.
Having a strong family background is a building block for success. People can be your GREATEST resource. Taylor Gray, a Senior from First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach was able to achieve success with her Senior Project because of her strong support system.
The Greatest Act of Leadership is Mentoring
If what you have learned, achieved, accumulated or accomplished dies with you, then you are a generational failure. The greatest obligation of true leadership is to transfer your deposit to the next generation. Leadership success is measured by the success of your successor.

“You inspired me my whole life. To this day I tell people you are my inspiration. You changed my life in middle school. Without your guidance throughout that hard time in my life I don’t know where I would be today. Thank you for everything you have done for me.”
— Hunter Williams, First Colonial High School
