Black Men: Move Out Of These Big Cities

Our ancestors told us to stay out of the big cities during the migrations. We didn't listen. Since then Black husbands and fathers have struggled to get a footing that let's them lead their families, train their children, leave an inheritance to their children's children.
Brother Kelly explains why he listened to John Berry Meachum and Booker T. Washington's advice and found a home for his family one hour outside the city, on two acres of land, to start the journey of creating a mini homestead.
Kelly Smith is a Christ-follower, father of 2 who has been married since 2011. He’s a general contractor and works as an advisor for small businesses.

WHAT IS MEACHUM VILLAGE?
Meachum Village is a community of Black American families who are using scripture and history to fix our marriages and break the cycle of family dysfunction. We share solid, Biblical guidance to help us commit to Christ and each other. The ministry is named for two heroes of the faith, John Berry Meachum and his wife Mary. They were Christ-followers who helped free dozens of people from slavery. Their guidance for Black families in 1847 is still relevant today.

One day this will be my move. You’ll made a good decision. Please continue to love, teach and grow together. We need more of this in our communities. Be blessed

Good job brother , God is good all the time , when we trust him

[@ronalddowdell9231]

Wow, you made a bold move, and I think it's a good move. I think it's time we abandon these high tax, crime ridden, big city food deserts. If I was about 30 years younger, I think I'd do it.

[@MeachumVillage]

Absolutely. When young brothers come to you for advice, tell them focus on owning land and getting out of debt.
