We Are the Generation That Can Change Everything

At the heart of every great movement lies a bold belief — that change isn’t just possible, it’s necessary. That belief gave rise to 1GEN — short for One Generation — built on a simple but powerful idea:

In just one generation, we have the power to transform our world.

🌍 Climate change. Inequality. Disconnection. Injustice. The challenges we face today are massive — but not insurmountable. And while it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, 1GEN chooses something else:

✨ Optimism. Action. Purpose.

We believe our generation — your generation — is uniquely positioned to lead. Not later. Now. Because when we come together with a shared mission, one generation is enough to rewrite the future.

💡 Why “One Generation”?

The name 1GEN isn’t just a label. It’s a mission statement — a promise.

We don’t need centuries to fix what’s broken. What we need is:

Focus on what matters.

Courage to take bold action.

Collective willpower to move forward — together.

Every solution we design, every partnership we build, every community we empower — it all comes from this belief: We can create lasting impact in one generation.

We’re not here to follow the old rulebook of “profit first.” We’re building something new — where impact leads and profit follows. Because real success isn’t measured just by numbers — it’s measured by meaning.

🦋 What Our Butterfly Stands For

You’ve probably seen our butterfly logo. But it’s more than just a design — it tells our story.

The butterfly symbolizes transformation — the very essence of what we do.

The 17 vibrant colors on its wings? They represent the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations — global goals for dignity, equality, and a better future for all.

And the idea behind the butterfly effect? That even the smallest actions — when done with intention — can spark ripple effects across communities, systems, and generations.

That’s why we chose the butterfly. Because transformation doesn’t need to be loud — it just needs to be real. That’s us. That’s you.

🚀 What We’re Building

1GEN isn’t just a name. It’s a technology-powered ecosystem built for real-world impact.

Here’s how we empower purpose-driven change:

oneMission: Helps organizations align with the SDGs and set measurable goals for meaningful progress.

oneCatalyst: A digital hub for collaboration, storytelling, and community building.

oneTeam: Streamlines task, role, and performance tracking so teams can move with clarity.

oneCampaign: Manages digital campaigns from start to success — data-backed and impact-led.

oneTribe: Connects influencers, ambassadors, and changemakers who believe in purpose over popularity.

oneRadar: Tracks real-time impact and offers AI-powered insights for smart, ethical decisions.

Each tool we build is designed to amplify good — helping people and organizations move from intention to action.

💬 A Call to You

If you’ve ever wondered whether your efforts really matter — we’re here to tell you: they do.

We are the generation that:

Asks better questions

Designs bolder solutions

Leads with empathy, not ego

Whether you're a technologist, a nonprofit leader, a startup founder, a student, or simply someone who cares deeply about our future — you belong here.

Because the world doesn’t change on its own. It changes when we choose to lead.

So here’s your invitation: Let’s prove that one generation can change everything — if we dare to believe, build, and act together.

Generational effect, or what I like to say:: #onegeneration 🌟 Because I spend time on my health, my daughters think it is normal to spend time on their health. 🌟 Because I work for myself, my daughters think it is normal to own a business and work for themselves. 🌟 Because I play at the water park in a bikini, my daughters think it is normal for women and mothers to play in a bikini. 🌟 Because we do not diet at my house, my daughters think diet is never a part of a healthy eating plan. ❤️ Because we don’t say “skinny” or “fat” in my household, my daughters self identify as “strong” and “capable.” 🌟 Because my daughters see me exercise every day, they think it is normal to exercise every day. 🌟 Because I have healthy adult female friendships, my daughters expect healthy friendships. 🌟 Because I spend my mornings with Jesus, my daughters believe in their relationship with Jesus. ❤️ Because we seek fun experiences, my daughters expect life to be about fun experiences. 🌟 Lesson: they don’t do what we say. They absorb what we do. ☝️ We can change the paradigm in One Generation. We can end destructive behavior. We can empower women (and men). We can change the entire structure of business. We can change the face of leadership. We can actually change the lives of generations to come by deciding to shift our behavior in our own home. #foodforthought 🌟 What are you shifting in your household? 👇 (at Galveston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAPp70lez5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ip6tk61gvd8p

How are we still here? 😭 That’s a question I just heard @msrachelhollis ask @jamiekernlima on the rise podcast. Why are we powerful beyond measure and STILL obsessed with what makes our bodies imperfect? 😰 How can we celebrate our bodies for the miracle they are and still suffer from scarcity and lack... still thinking we are never enough PHYSICALLY. 😢 Never enough. Be honest. Do you look at yourself every day and say “I am exactly as I am supposed to be, top to bottom!”? Do you exclaim love for yourself and throw your arms around your self? Do you marvel at your physical presence? 😇 If so, we need more of what you’re having. The wide WIDE majority of us are not there yet. 😰 My goal is #onegeneration . Someone TAUGHT us to feel this way. Someone TAUGHT us to criticize our bodies and faces. Someone TAUGHT us that we’ll never REALLY be enough. 😍 So here is my challenge, Mother’s (aunts, fathers, teachers, etc). I want us to end this madness in ONE GENERATION. I want our daughters to grow up in a space of joy and admiration. To grow up knowing all things are possible. To grow up not accepting perfection as the ideal, but growth as a joyful journey toward a healthy life in all areas. 🥰 If we do that. If we replace this body image issue in ONE generation, I honestly believe that entire systems will change, that the patriarchy will crumble, and that women will bring about the biggest cultural shifts in herstory. Will you do this with me? Will you do it for HER? Remember. She won’t do what you say. She will absorb your behavior as being about her. So you shifting your mind will shift hers. I can’t do it alone, mama. 👊 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwKmkRtFjGg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nlipih2shydv

And it was said: “Until you become like a child, You cannot enter my kingdom.” . Like a child. A child is a pure soul. A child’s soul is the softest place on earth. A child can be made to believe anything. A child can learn everything. . We as caregivers, parents or teachers are given a treasure to look after . When we lack knowledge When we suffer When we are not ready When we are trapped in a fixed mindset We will Imprint, project, upload All of us Onto them . And they will have to Fight our fights Face our fears Cry our tears Bleed for our wounds Learn our lessons . Instead of Fulfill themselves Live their dreams Change the world Stand up for their rights Be who they were Meant To Be . #stopthecycle #bethechange #prepareyourself #knowledgefirst #hannaarendt #makeemfly #startwiththemaninthemirror #breake #patterns #evolve #bemoreaware #stopthestupid #noignorance #loveyourself #trully #deeply #michaeljackson #kids #kidsofinstagram #parentaladvisory #parenthood #parentinghacks #parenting #letsdothis #onegeneration #of #kids #raised #in #light #will #turn #the #wheel #inshallah #amen #jesus #and #buddha #allin

My reason for writing a blog

I have often felt the pull to write, my inspiration generally lasting about as long as it takes the wind to change directions.  However, over the past year or so I’ve felt God telling me I should write about the things He is revealing to me as I read and study His Word… “Write a blog” are the words that God keeps playing in my brain.  “No, Lord, not me, I don’t know what to say…I don’t know when I’ll have time to post consistently and have good content”…

Yesterday I opened my Bible to Nehemiah 6:15 where the sub-heading read “The Builders Complete the Wall”, signifying that the much-maligned rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem was finally complete.  As I continued to read how Nehemiah made provisions for the gates to be secured and the people to feel safe I realized that although the task was complete there has to be some way of maintaining, expanding, and preserving what has been accomplished.  Nehemiah didn’t rest on his laurels and head off to the next project or take a sabbatical, he ensured the work would continue to benefit others after he was gone.  

I continued to read about the census Nehemiah took in chapter 7 and the large numbers of Israelites that had returned from exile in Babylon and other regions.  These people had been exiled and living among pagan worshipers since the fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C., it is now 445 B.C. or 141 years later! During this time they were not being taught God’s laws or living as God’s chosen people. In chapter 8, the profit Ezra begins to read the scriptures to the masses of people and Nehemiah, Ezra, and the Levites began instructing them in how to live out the scriptures.  The people were in agony that they had lived such mis-directed lives, but they were reminded to rely on the strength of the Lord to give them strength as they transitioned to a new way of life. (Nehemiah 8:7-10)  In verse 12 the people celebrated with great joy at hearing God’s words and understanding them.

And it hit me like a ton of bricks…this is why I need to blog what I’m learning, what I feel God revealing to me:  As a beloved member of Christ’s Holy Church I am called to learn and seek a deep and abiding faith and to help others learn and grow in their relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  We are all called, we are “blessed to be a blessing” (Jessica LaGrone, Broken and Blessed: How God Changed the World through One Family)

I’ve heard it said that we are just one generation away from losing our faith.  This story of the Israelites having lost their faith is evidence that we can be led so far astray that we do not teach our children about God and the lasting effects that can have on them.  I cringe to think about my grandchildren and their descendants not knowing a life with the hope and peace of Jesus in it, believing that they must encounter all the trials of life under their own will power and strength.  

So, I asked God to forgive my being stiff-necked about writing this blog.  I asked Him to bless me with passion to write good content and to post regularly, to have wisdom and discernment about the messages He wants me to convey.  My goal is to follow the will of God, to be obedient and walk the path He designed for me before I was born.  If it is simply to document what I’m learning and build the foundation for my own faith, then that works for me.  But I hope that this process will inspire and cultivate a love for Christ in others.

Trust God. Obey God. Praise God.

What's possible in one generation?

Camelback Ventures was inspired by a desire to end a vicious cycle. I have a one and a half year old son, Langston. Before he was born friends would ask if I had thought about school for him—that’s the rat race in New York City. After being asked so many times I just decided to investigate—the computer screen showed that at the nearby public school 33% of the third graders could read.

My first thought was to think about moving—I’m fortunate to have the means to have better choices. This choice would not be anything new. My parents moved before I started school so that I could go to a good school in a livable community. Previous generations made similar choices. I wanted the cycle to end.

As someone who has spent much of his adult life in teaching, advocating, lawyering and just giving a damn about educational inequity and the systemic issues that go along with it, I felt deflated realizing that while our society can be proud of its accomplishments, we really do have so much further to go.

Months later while reflecting on my own entrepreneurial experiences, I asked myself what will I do so that one generation our children aren’t faced with the same choices? I wanted to do everything and then some, but then realized that mobilizing the talents of others was more powerful than anything I could do alone. Camelback Ventures is my effort to do just that.
