FREE Pre-membership Self-Es

As you’ve probably guessed, Chocolate Gents, is the all-male counterpart of the Chocolate Chix Organization.

Operated by Head Chairman Michael “Hou” Houston, Chocolate Gents has many noble objectives, but our primary plight is to help BIPOC boys and young men navigate through emotional and environmental adversities and emerge as both powerful and positive forces in society.

Chocolate Gents are urban professionals comprised of men that have successfully navigated through a number of adversities, on and off the field/courts, in and out of the board room and everywhere in between. professional, family life and are eager to show others the way through authentic and meaningful exchanges.

Men Mentoring thru Music or M3 is a program that offers a recording studio as the catalyst of common ground enabling young men of color to explore their musical potential while also being guided and supported in all aspects of their lives. The M3 program focuses on championing and empowering those in underserved communities and offer early intervention during the critical stages associated with academics, socializing, gangs affiliation and prevention, addictions or dependencies, abuse, mental disorders, poverty, hunger and much more.

M3 program participants range from ages 8¬–18 and are able to earn sessions in our own professional music studio by achieving milestones involving academic achievements, community service, social activism, athletics, and cultural and artistic expression. In doing so, we also expose gents-in-training to multiple experiences and outlets to explore interests and strengths, including photography, coaching, finance, engineering, athletics, leadership, and more. Our overall purpose is to equip young men with the ability to make positive choices at crucial times in their life and instill values that to guide them on a path leading to future success.

The Chocolate Gents M3 mentors are an accomplished group of men that come from all walks of life and have careers in engineering, construction, telecommunications, academia, web development, corporate sales, professional sports and of course, music.

Self-Es are Self-Evolvement Sessions open to everyone; members and non-members. One of the Chocolate Chix pillars is Self-Evolvement, which involves a commitment to being the best YOU through continuous self-evaluation and growth. No one knows you better than you know yourself so we believe a small dose of self-honesty will go a long way to forging true breakthroughs that leave to positive change.

The Self-E self-evolvement sessions are online sessions that can take a couple of hours, a couple of days, or a couple of weeks. The time and contemplation you put into completing them will equal the reward you get out of them. Your answers are not recorded and are only for you and anyone with whom you wish to share them. We suggest you print or save them for your reflection as you may wish to review or retake them again.

Please enjoy the vast selection of Self-Es developed by Chocolate Chix with topical expertise, and awarded psychologists, and life coaches from all walks of life. Here’s to the most wonderful You.
