UP TO IT
Welcome to Up To It, where tough conversations lead to stronger connections. We are Jamal and Zion Givens, a father-son duo dedicated to empowering families and communities by helping them navigate challenging conversations.
Jamal Givens brings over 20 years of experience in promoting mental health and preventing substance misuse. As the CEO of LPKNC, he’s seen firsthand the power of open and honest family conversations. (You can say he's been around the block... a few times, lol)
Zion Givens shares his father's passion for fostering meaningful connections. With his positive attitude and empathetic approach, Zion excels as a facilitator and presenter, especially in his work with teens through organizations like El Rio R.H.A.P, LPKNC, and notMYkid.
Our journey began with the realization of the unique beauty of our father-son relationship. We wanted to show that meaningful, impactful, and loving relationships with youth are possible and essential. Inspired by our experiences, we created Up To It Presentations to equip parents, guardians, grandparents, and trusted adults with the tools to navigate tough discussions and strengthen connections.
We offer engaging and interactive presentations for youth ages 12-21 and adults. Our main topic for youth is teen mental health. Additionally, we provide employee wellness presentations focused on mental health and parenting, aimed at fostering supportive and healthy work environments.
Our goal is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals and families can learn, grow, and ultimately create deeper connections with their loved ones. With our unique perspective and dynamic chemistry, we strive to make every presentation impactful and relatable.
Join us on this journey of growth and transformation. Let’s have those tough conversations and build stronger connections together.
