Testimonials
Mr. Coleman has always been refreshing to
the Johnson family YMCA through his Guy
Talk. His program offers a secure space for
candid conversations, allowing young men
to open up and discuss their experiences
and the issues they face. Mr. Coleman has
established a trust circle where young men
can discuss various topics, including
emotional intelligence and how to overcome
societal expectations of black youth.
The program also explores what it means to
be a man and encourages breaking away
from traditional stereotypes.​

The global impact of, “Fatherhood Fridays“
have been felt far and wide. His words have
challenged fathers from the east coast to west
coast and all the way into the Caribbean.
Beyond Devin’s phenomenal character and
impeccable integrity, we have been thoroughly
impressed and deeply inspired with his
consistency. He is a man of his word and
changed the trajectory of several fathers, for
the good, without organization.
Devin’s wisdom, words of encouragement
and fatherly insights are life changing,
mindset altering and heart assuring.
