About Dominetrius
---------
Dominetrius Chambers seemed to be poised for success: the 20-year-old graduated third in her high school class. But the next steps that a middle-class woman her age might take - college, career, an apartment - have proven elusive. Then Dominetrius was introduced to My Block, My Hood, My City, a nonprofit that introduced her to mentors and exposed her to neighborhoods around the city. Will the excitement of new people and places lead to greater opportunity?

Beautiful program w/the cops should be like that in every town,city and state

[@elleningalls5434]

Community policing
This i love this!!!

[@kenyonbissett3512]

As in all professions there are good, bad, mediocre and those that make a difference.

[@redactedredacted3675]

I completely agree, however, I think they should get the young men involved and not put all of the responsibility on the young ladies.

[@Footballl942]

Agreed❤

[@elleningalls5434]

I absolutely love this
This is community policing
And this is how you have conversations that you need to learn about others
You make connections and you can step out of your shell and you can squash those stereotypes and when somebody jumps to a conclusion you can say nope ive talked to that person
That person's good people 💜💜💜 this

[@shannonjohnson4314]

Exactly

[@saragsanders5916]

This young lady is a leader. She needs to join police department or military. She would go up in rank quickly. She emanates leadership and self confidence.

Love this!! I would love to meet these young ladies and Ms. Sanders! A group of special women. 🙏🏽

[@MyFavoriteColorIsBLUE]

I hope that these young ladies stay in school, as they need to break the chain of poverty.

[@shannonjohnson4314]

Yes and may they also be given the opportunity. The pandemic almost cost them their education.
