Its Not About The Money Its The Principal When Lu Hefner And Principal Mills Link Up To Do The Right Thing!!

And yet again we have the pleasure to introduce another great man but this time it involves school! Lu Hefner recently linked up with Gemar Mills a very humble and respectable man who has earned the right to be honored. Gemar Mills, 30, is a principal at Malcolm X Shabazz High School in crime-ridden Newark, NJ. Born and raised in the struggling city, he narrowly escaped a plethora of opportunities to destroy his life as a teenager by exerting his time and focus on athletics
Mills took over Malcolm X Shabazz in 2011, and changes are already taking place under his watch. Mills has actively fought truancy and low graduation rates in his year at the helm, and he also is seeking publicity for the school. Last year, Shabazz played its first televised football game, which was also the first in the district's history. By offering vocational education in conjunction with its traditional education, Shabazz has progressed over the last two years. Today, he has achieved more at the age of 30 than some have achieved in their entire career. After one year of being a Vice Principal, the community urged him to interview for his current role, in which he successfully landed the job. In the past 18 months, he has acquired a slew of awards/accolades from many reputable organizations including: NBC, Newark Public School, CNN, and even had the school featured in Sports Illustrated with NBA stars vising the school as well. Right now Mills and Hefner are working closely together to work on a upcoming clothing line "Upperclass" a newer fashionable uniform for students in the new jersey school districts. "A majority of students dont like the uniforms inforced by the school districts today so why not give them something more fashionable" Lu Hefner Says. In Other News Mills is currently working on a upcoming reality show called "What Would Mills Do" which will feature Lu Hefner and just confirmed yesterday Lil Young as well. Mr.Mills has become the face of change and a beacon of hope in the city of Newark. Students are no longer trying to prove themselves worthy of gang affiliation, instead the students are holding conversation of graduating from not only high school but college as well. The things that the students were able to accomplish in the short amount of time that Mr. Mills has been principal is simply short of Amazing!

Lu Hefner Visits the Universoul Circus but Takes a Break From His Circus Lifestyle

Lu Hefner spent some quality time with his daughter Naiyanah and his niece Emani at the Universoul Circus.  Which they had a chance to enjoy their box seats and make new friends. Lu Hefner said and I quote, "It was very interactive, never a dull moment to the point that you don't even notice that you were there for four hours." Lu Hefner says "a lot of people have a bias opinion about the Universoul Circus and label it as the "Black Circus" but from his experience from going to the Universoul Circus Lu Hefner does not believe in that statement at all. There were actually different cultures like for instance Chinese and Russians it was like the World Circus. Lu Hefner also had a chance to meet the co-host Zanda "Zeke" Charles, who is 54 years old and 4 1/2 feet tall. He has been with the circus since day one. Lu Hefner had a chance to meet Zeke when Zeke had came over to Lu Hefner so he could thank him for attending the show with his family and showing his support to the Universoul Circus.
