On Sunday, March 25, Hudson, a noted youth mentor and anti-violence and peace activist, will use a life-size chessboard to bring life lessons to students in metro Atlanta at the Be Someone Training Center. By learning to outthink the competition, Hudson says these young people will learn to respect others, think before they make dangerous moves, and give more than they take. The session will outline specific strategies that help students clearly understand there are consequences for every move they make in life. The chess champion, who was once an at-risk youngster following a path of personal hardship and heartache, says his training is "designed to provide constructive tools for life." He added, "The game of chess changed my life. I use it to change the lives of young people."
Hudson, founder of Be Someone (www.BeSomeone.org), is a former Air Force veteran and law enforcement officer. He has been awarded the prestigious FBI Director’s Community Leader Award, and since the year 2000, his program has brought 55,000 students the life-affirming message of “Peace, Positivity, and Purpose.” He says this emphatically about his training program, "Take time to train your mind!"
Hudson's life-changing message to urban youth is:
* Get Your Heads Up!
* Get Your Pants Up!
* Get Your Grades Up!
* and Never Give Up!
