At the age of 19, Farajii R. Muhammad and his wife Tamara founded the New Light Leadership Coalition in Baltimore, MD, while they were students.

He has built it into a powerful voice for the young people of Baltimore.  He saw that many social institutions had "dumbed down” the perception of young people and he started the Coalition to turn that around by training young leaders. He started with a national youth conference, which he still produced, and then moved into leadership development programs to get young people ready to become leaders as adults. 

His goal is to create a national movement – the youth empowerment movement – engaging young people in their communities.  His secret is that he is a great communicator who can share a vision with a radio program that reaches thousands of youth in Baltimore.

His advice to young people: “Change the way you see yourself – see yourself as a leader.”
