My name is SF. Banks. My friends call me SF. Growing up with a single mother who cleaned houses and buildings for some of the most wealthy and elite people in Seattle, WA, I was instilled with a strong work ethic to pursue big dreams and help others. One night, my life was rocked by a nightmare when my uncle murdered my aunt and cousin in a domestic violence dispute. Our close-knit family was devastated. I vowed to do something in their honor when I became an adult.
In 2007, I opened the I AM Defense institute against my profound disinterest in working with youth. I AM Defense shows women and children how to protect themselves from attackers. Since that time, I have committed my life to the personal development of youth.
I am the creator of Camp Warrior King, which helps thousands of youth in the metro Atlanta area gain exposure to Amazingly-fun activities. I am the founder of "You Can Have IT ALL!" Youth conferences. This conference did its first international event in Uganda, East Africa before the COVID pandemic hit. I have recently launched "You Can Have It ALL!" Youth motivational Development Magazine. The only motivational magazine for kids of its kind in the world.
I am the developer creator of Team HoTT SAWCE. THS are cartoon characters that teach children how to believe in themselves using fundamental personal development principles.
I innovated the Team HoTT SAWCE Success Stacks. The Stacks are words and phrases kids should learn to increase their self-efficacy.
