Marcus E. Meneese is the Founder and Executive Director of Stronger Than My Father, Inc., a Christian 501(c)(3) organization created in 2013. The organization’s mission is to educate, inspire and transform today’s youth to fulfill their God-given purpose. For the past 15 years, Marcus has actively worked as a youth mentor. He believes his purpose is to coach and develop youth to become responsible adults and good parents, preparing them to become ‘Stronger Than Their Fathers’. In 2016, Marcus launched the Hope Leadership Academy, which is the flagship program of Stronger Than My Father. The Hope Leadership Academy (HLA) is a Christian afterschool program preparing kindergarten through fifth grade students to succeed in life by providing academic assistance, access to technology, character development and spiritual enrichment through critical formative years. HLA provides afterschool services to a diverse group of over 70 students who attend school and reside in the local Antioch, TN community. In the summer of 2018, Marcus re-launched his ‘Moms with Purpose’ program. The program’s goal is to provide various levels of support to the Mothers of HLA program participants and the local Nashville community as well. The mission of Moms with Purpose is to create strong parents who will build loving households and teach their children to love God. Marcus is a Nashville native, who graduated from Whites Creek High School. He earned his B.S. degree in Psychology from Tennessee State University and holds a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Trevecca Nazarene University.
