Having appeared on the television shows Dish Nation and Rickey Smiley For Real, Turner is founder and creator of Stomp Wars, which has been dubbed the nation’s No. 1 youth step competition.

As for Next Level Top Up Stop Kidz Entrepreneurs, Scott Jackson is expecting close to two dozen youth entrepreneurs to be on hand for an event that figures to be a game changer for their respective business endeavor.

MAKING A STATEMENT — Most importantly, Scott Jackson emphasized, attendees to Next Level Top Up Stop Kidz Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to support Keeping Families Connected’s Boyz N Blue & Girlz Too Kids & Teens Entrepreneurs.

Tickets for Next Level Top Up Stop Kidz Entrepreneurs can be purchased at eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kfc-presents-next-level-top-up-stop-tickets-147686894477 or by calling 972.904.0551.

Most importantly, Scott Jackson emphasized, attendees to Next Level Top Up Stop Kidz Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to support Keeping Families Connected’s Boyz N Blue & Girlz Too Kids & Teens Entrepreneurs.

“They are our leaders of tomorrow,” Scott said. “We are on a mission.”

A Dallas/Fort Worth-based nonprofit organization that Scott Jackson established in 2015, the strategic mission of Keeping Families Connected is centered in large part on enriching the lives of young people, most notably through events, as well as by way of providing educational resources, mentoring, and counseling services.

“We believe that family matters most,” said a spokesperson for this thriving, flourishing nonprofit organization in a detailed overview at https://www.keepingfamilyconnected.org/.

A native of Houston who was raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, Scott Jackson is thoroughly convinced that her organization is steadily becoming a fixture throughout the region but, most importantly, she’s convinced it aligns solely with the purpose for which she was created.

Generally, Scott Jackson birthed Keeping Families Connected out of “a personal desire,” one that would enable her to customarily make meaningful contributions to the lives of those who are incarcerated while being separated an extended period time from family members.

“My life’s trials and tribulations set me up for this journey,” Scott Jackson told Making Headline News during a March 2019 interview. “I lost my mom, my dad, and my only son to death, and I really feel that God was removing all of my leaning posts so that I could find my connection and my calling in life and, more so, to help me maximize my potential.”


‘IF YA DIDN’T KNOW, NOW YA KNOW’

ALL-STAR LINEUP — Powered by Keeping Families Connected, Next Level Top Up Stop Kidz Entrepreneurs is accompanied by the theme, “Support Our Youth,” and will be hosted by Rocky “Rock-T” Turner (pictured first from left) of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show.

By and large, Scott Jackson said the exposure and support these rising young business owners will acquire during Next Level Top Up Stop Kidz Entrepreneurs is something that will prove beneficial to them for years to come.

“The main purpose of the event is to show these mentees God and how to live an abundant blessed life the kingdom way and to socialize life skills on a different level,” Scott Jackson said.
