people make up 8% of the U.S. tech industry. And of the 8% of Black people in the tech
industry; Black women represent 3% and Hispanic women 1%. By empowering young women with

VPG was founded by Nyene Baker, who had a turbulent past involving violence
and
crime. He wants to prevent others from making the same mistakes he did and teach them
self-control. At the age of 17 years old, Nyene had his first shoot out and by 20 he
caught his first adult record selling drugs. By 26, he had already experienced 4
attempts on his life, and at age 30, he was arrested by the FBI and sentenced to 180
months in Federal Prison.
Why This Program: Nyene wants to prevent others from making the same
mistakes he did and teach them self-control. The Violence Prevention and Intervention
Program was formed because every person deserves the chance to learn from mistakes
without enduring the same consequences. By teaching self-control and conflict
resolution, we can break cycles of violence and create safer communities where
individuals can thrive without resorting to harmful actions.

Google CS First Foundational skills in computer science
These programs, initiated by Nyene Baker's personal experience, aim to
bring tech opportunities and training to underserved communities.
Why: We believe that access to tech education and training should
not be limited by socioeconomic status. By providing these opportunities, we empower
individuals to advance their careers and contribute to the digital economy, fostering
economic growth and reducing inequity. Currently, Hispanics make up 16.7% of the U.S
workforce and about 8% of the tech industry and Blacks 14.3% of the workforce and only
8% in the tech industry.


Never Ending Relentlessness Determines Success

title above. These initiatives aim to empower youth and adults in underserved
communities worldwide to embrace their nerdy passions with confidence, the initiative
promotes pride in intellectual pursuits and idealizes positive achievements like
learning tech over illegal activities.

into society post-prison, offers support and resources to individuals transitioning from
incarceration.

Our Strategy
Visionary Philanthropy Group Brings
Breakbeat Code To NYC
Ladies and Gentlemen, Visionary Philanthropy Group Inc., in collaboration
with Latino Spirit Media, made history on Friday, May 31, 2024. They brought together 55
students and 13 chaperones for a transformative experience at the Google headquarters in
New York City, participating in the New York City Summer Jam BreakBeatCode Hackathon.
Held at Google's prestigious location at 335 West Houston St., this event marked a
significant milestone for all involved.
As the Founder and CEO of Visionary Philanthropy Group Inc., Nyene Baker,
along
with Visionary Philanthropy Group's Executive Assistant, Kadine Shirley, worked
tirelessly to ensure the success of this event. They stayed up until 1 AM handling
Google waivers, sending reminders, and organizing the trip to make sure everyone was
included. Baker, exemplifying dedication, woke up at 4:30 AM to be at the pick-up
location by 5:30 AM and even drove an extra Mercedes Sprinter 15-passenger van in
addition to the chartered 54-passenger bus. His commitment, along with the efforts of
the VPG team, Latino Spirit Media, and the Executive Director/Founder Diego Maya was
instrumental in making this event a reality.

Jazzmin Willingham, the Executive Director and Founder of She Is Her 365
Inc., played a crucial role in the success of this trip. As an intern, facilitator, and
volunteer for VPG, she assisted with recruitment, back office tasks, and chaperoning,
alongside her daughter Dyon Patterson. Israel Martin, the Founder and CEO of Redefining
The Youth, also volunteer and facilitator of VPG assisted in bringing a group of young
ladies from Baker's Violence Prevention and Intervention program and Girls Who Code
Club, including her wonderful daughter Blessyn Walker. Teri Moore from the Federal
Public Defender Office Reentry program provided exceptional support, helping with
breakfast and maintaining student organization throughout the day.
Donell Whitley, a VPG facilitator, was another key figure, offering endless
assistance and keeping a close eye on the students. His dedication and enjoyment of the
event were evident.


Baker expressed immense gratitude to Freddie Rosado, the owner of
McDonald's at 501 Chambers St., in Trenton NJ and his staff for coming in early to help
prepare the breakfast, sponsor the breakfast, that helped set a positive tone for the
day. The chartered bus and van were filled to capacity, a sight Baker described as a
"Dream Come True from God."
The Hackathon itself was a remarkable event, livestreamed globally with
special guest Supernatural, the legendary freestyle hip hop artist, and DJ Siege
providing music. The event began with Dale Allsopp, Director of Google Ads
Responsibility Office, inspiring the crowd to believe in their dreams. He aslo talked
about how Supernatural ended his rap career. Richard Achee, Head of Infrastructure
Partnerships/Privacy Sandbox at Google and creator of BreakBeatCode, captivated the
students by teaching them how to create music with code using Earsketch. In less than
two hours, the students learned Python coding, music production, and the functions of a
code editor/digital audio workstation, creating their own beats and becoming artist
engineers.

After lunch, Aaron Wade, a young African-American Creative Technologist at
Google, shared his experience working with Lupe Fiasco on Gen AI for rappers and
songwriters, inspiring the students with his story because they had the opportunity to
see a young man of color who partnered with a star rapper to create a AI platform. The
highlight of the day was Supernatural, who freestyled over beats made by the students,
turning the event into a lively and interactive session. His 30-minute plus freestyle,
where he incorporated items from the audience into his rap, left everyone in awe.
The event concluded with a Q&A session, where Baker felt immense pride as
his young ladies from various programs confidently asked questions. A particularly
memorable moment was when nine-year-old Parker Stephens asked Supernatural about his
favorite book, prompting Supernatural to share one of his favorites. This interaction
underscored the importance of curiosity and learning, a sentiment that resonates deeply
with Baker, who asked his mentor Michael Harry-O Harris the Founder of Death Row Records
while in Federal Prison what was his top 5 books after that question Harris introduced
Baker into Philanthropy,Baker came up with his nonprofit name,and the rest is history.
Overall, the Google NYC trip was a life-changing experience for many,
making a significant impact on all attendees. The event was a resounding success,
attended by 300 students on-site and over 3,000 students online from more than 37
countries. Visionary Philanthropy Group Inc. and Latino Spirit Media are profoundly
grateful for the opportunity to partner with BreakBeatCode and reach such a broad
audience that gives them exposure in over 37 countries. They extend their heartfelt
thanks to all donors, sponsors, students, parents, chaperones, friends, organizations,
and schools that contributed to making this event a success.
