[Photos]BE A CHAMPION Foundation hosts a night of celebration with Nelly + Karreuche
Last night in Atlanta, Umeek was on site for the one amazing celebratory night with Nelly and Karrueche Tran . Be A Champion is an anti-bully Foundation that hosted a night of Celebration at Club opium which brought out Nelly and Karrueche which are big supporters of the movement. The night was filled with great spirits, laughter and music. WE were able to spot a few noticeable faces such as, Tiny of Xscape, Bow Wow, and Jermaine Depri. In an era where we witness numerous of stories of public brutality and murders; witnessing many like-minded celebs and Atlanta socialites party for a cause was a dope experience.
ABOUT BE A CHAMPION FOUNDATION
Married for 37 years and proud parents of three children, Robert and Pamela (Pam) Champion have endured the unimaginable. Their lives have been forever changed. On November 19th, 2011 their only son, Robert Darnell Champion, a music major and drum major in the Florida A & M University marching band better known as The MARCHING 100, was brutally and viciously beaten to death on a bus in Orlando, Florida. Robert’s death was a direct result of corruption and negligence in the Florida A & M University marching band system. It is because of the lack of accountability of the University and the killers of their son, Robert and Pam Champion founded Robert D. Champion Drum Major for Change Foundation, doing business as the Be A Champion Foundation to eradicate the senseless violence contaminating our educational institutions, ails our communities, fragment our families, and destroys the potential of innocence lives. BE A CHAMPION Foundation is an accredited 501c3 non-profit organization with a God given mission and a clear direction to change mindsets and save lives.
In the words of the Robert and Pam Champion: “In a nation where we are inundated with violence in every facet of our lives, we chose to honor our son’s memory by providing proactive solutions to prevent violence, save lives and change mindset. This can be done. We are not dealing with an incurable disease, we are dealing with a mindset, which can be changed.”

Dr. Jamal H. Bryant and The JHB Movement to Host Strategic Town Hall Revealing the Next Phase of the TargetFast Movement
As national momentum continues to build around the TargetFast movement, Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant, Senior Pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and founder of The JHB Movement, will host a high-impact, invite-only TargetFast Town Hall on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 7:00 PM EST in Stonecrest, Georgia.
This private strategic gathering marks the conclusion of the first 40 days of TargetFast.org — a bold initiative launched on March 3, 2025, calling for a community-wide economic divestment from Target in response to its quiet rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. As a critical moment for reflection, recalibration, and media engagement, the town hall will unveil the movement’s next phase and reaffirm its call for corporate accountability. Special guests that will be speaking at the event include:
Dr. Jamal H. Bryant – Senior Pastor & Movement Leader
Dr. Karri Bryant – Educator & Cultural Strategist
Dr. Rashad Richey – Political Analyst & Commentator
Tamika Mallory – Renowned Civil Rights Activist
Dr. David John – Economic Advisor & Policy Strategist
Tezlyn Figaro – Policy ConsultantNina Turner – Political Economist
In just over a month, TargetFast has sparked a measurable shift in corporate accountability. Since the launch of the boycott, Target has experienced 10 consecutive weeks of declining foot traffic and a sharp drop in stock value — from $104 on March 13 to $92 on April 13, resulting in an estimated $12.4 billion loss in market value (source: Reddit and public market data).
But beyond the numbers, the movement speaks directly to the economic vulnerability of Black-owned brands that once thrived under Target’s DEI efforts, including:
Mielle Organics
Tabitha Brown’s Home & Kitchen Collection
The Doux Haircare Products
Black Girl Sunscreen
“This is not just a protest—it’s a prophetic move toward permanent change,” said Dr. Bryant. “TargetFast is a demand, not a plea. If corporations choose to walk back their promises to our community, we will meet them with economic consequence.”
Attendees can expect a powerful review of the first 40 days of the TargetFast movement, along with exclusive insights from key voices leading the charge. The town hall will offer strategic vision casting and a clear roadmap for the next phase of the movement’s expansion. Participants will also gain access to new resources, including a comprehensive Black Business Directory and a 30-Day Devotional Guide designed to support both faith and financial discipline. With a major media presence on-site, the event is positioned to amplify the movement’s message and national impact.
JHB Movement and the Path Forward
This initiative is being led by the Jamal Harrison Bryant (JHB) Movement, a faith-driven social justice organization committed to economic empowerment, community activism, and racial equity. To support those participating in the FAST, Dr. Bryant is providing registrants with a Black Business Directory and a 30-Day Devotional Guide, offering alternative shopping options and spiritual encouragement throughout the boycott. Supporters can sign up at Targetfast.org to receive the Black Business Directory and 30-Day Devotional, as well as track updates on the FAST’s impact. The JHB Movement will also release a report at the end of the 40-day period to quantify the economic effect of this demonstration.
